KMK: Cambodia – Ta Prohm

International Travel


Ta Prohm is another of the many temples at Angkor. It has been left mostly untouched and the jungle trees have taken up residence inside the cracks and crevices.


The site was constructed by King Jayavarman VII in honor of his family. The records found on site reveal that over 12,000 people called the temple home.

This site was also used in the Tomb Raider movie. If you look closely you can see Angelina Jolie’s faceprint in the tree bark. Just kididng.

This was truly one of the more impressive temples.


Here I pass and play catch up with some fellow tourists, they were from San Francisco.

You could spend all day looking at the twisting trunks and rioting jungle plants invading the temple.
