    This is the temple that has all of the crazy tree roots climbing over the building. It is an amazing temple that should absolutely not be missed. However, all effort should be taken to somehow avoid the crowds (I wish I knew when that was-maybe 6am or dusk?). Unfortunately, it is a nightmare trying to get through there with everyone trying to take their picture in front of the trees. Eventually you just have to walk in front of them because you will never make it out if you wait. It will also take a lot of time and patience if you want to get a picture of the tree roots without anyone in the way.

    petra_stephan 4 contributions Vienna, Austria Feb 20, 2012

    Toller Dschungeltempel in dem man gute Photos machen kann, wenn man Glück hat besuchen auch gerade Mönche den Tempel die, nach Nachfragen, ein gutes Fototmotiv abgeben. Grundsätzlich wird der Tempel im Inneren gerade renoviert und ist durch baugerüste verunstaltet .. seinen Charme hat er aber trotzdem nicht verloren

  • Ta Prohm

    I went to Ta Prohm as part of an arrangement I made with a tuk-tuk driver. The temple is famous for the enormous roots of various trees that have literally overtaken the buildings and grown over the man-made creations. Aside from Angkor Wat, this site was one of my favorites of all the temples I visited.

    If you're tight on time and only get to see a little bit of Angkor Archaeological Park, I would highly recommend seeing Ta Prohm in addition to Angkor Wat.

    Angkor Day 2

    Today we went to explore some more temples in the Angkor area, starting out with Ta Prohm, a site where a lot of trees still cover parts of the temple complex, one of which was featured in the movie Tomb Raider. This was also a very nice site, but I'm starting to miss a bit of guidance and backstory here. KrisKras seems to be more about exploring …

    Angkor Small Circuit

    We essentially did the Angkor Small circuit. We saw the sunrise at Angkor Wat, which was super packed, but still pretty. We then went in and walked around Angkor Wat - it was truly awe inspiring to stand at the foot of the prangs on the third level. We learned a lot about the battle between heaven and hell in hindu lore, the Asparas (dancing woman …

    Early to rise this morning! Woke up at 4.30 to get the Tuk-tuk from outside the hostel at 5.00. Didn't take too long to get to Angkor - about 20 minutes. The roads were fairly quiet although there were plenty of Monks out for their morning duties.

    On arrival at the Angkor Complex we had our photos taken for the temple pass and then Niam, …

    The ancient city of Angkor

    Our first day in Angkor was incredble there is no other word for it! We spent over two hours at Angkor Wat alone where we wandered round looking at the 1000 year old reliefs. They were amazingly well preserved and depicted all sorts of legends and battles. After Angkor Wat we headed to the Bayon. Hundreds of slightly creepy faces cover this temple …
