[Cambodia/Siem Reap] The mysterious Ta Prohm temple where nature and ruins blend together

Ta Prohm Temple in Siem Reap is a place with a particularly mystical atmosphere among the Angkor ruins, and is said to be a place that attracts visitors with its beautiful blend of nature and history✨

This temple, built by Jayavarman VII at the end of the 12th century, is said to have once functioned as a Buddhist temple!

Unlike other Angkor ruins, Ta Prohm has not undergone large-scale restoration and has been left in its original state in the jungle!

The greatest attraction of this temple is the sight of the roots of the giant banyan and spoan trees covering the ruins 🌳

The tree roots wrap around the walls and towers of the temple, supporting the buildings with their overwhelming force while sometimes collapsing them, giving a strong sense of the power of nature and the passage of time 👀

For this reason, Ta Prohm is also known as the "temple swallowed by trees" and is famous as the filming location for the movie "Tomb Raider" 🎞️

When you walk through the ruins, you will walk through moss-covered stone walls and crumbling corridors, making you feel like an explorer!

Also, if you visit early in the morning or in the evening, there will be fewer tourists and you can enjoy the ruins in a quiet atmosphere.

Ta Prohm is a particularly unique and photogenic spot among the Angkor ruins, and a special place where you can feel the grandeur of history and nature at the same time👍
