Three months ago my two daughters and I went visit Ta Prohm temple with my Khmer family. The Ta Prohm temple is in Siem Reap Province of Cambodia. Those days we visited Angkor Thom in the morning until lunch. After we got lunch already and we went to Ta Prohm.
The distance from Angkor Thom to Ta Prohm is about 2 km or we are riding around 40 minutes with Khmer Tuk-Tuk. On the way to Ta Prohm, there are many other temples along the way.
This is the gate into the temple. The gate has four carved faces.
This is the entrance to the temple area.
This Ta Prohm has originally called "Reach Vihear", was built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII in 1186.
Due to the age of the temple and the abandonment for too long, trees have grown on the body of the temple.
And it has become the attraction of many national and international guests visiting every day.
There are many temples where big trees press on the rocks temples. And other temples in other places have also but they cut some for taking of temples.
But for the temples in this area, they do not cut it. I have heard that they want to keep the trees to confirm the age of the temple and other reasons.
The roots are long and the stems are high, so it is difficult to photograph all the trees and temples. This is a original picture I do not crop it.
This tree, all the tourists who come to visit this place like to take pictures. And there are always people waiting to be photographed. I love this picture so much of @kidsisters SreyYuu.
This place I used to visited a few times and along time ago but I not have much pictures from there because I do not have my own camera at those times. I have some pictures from my niece and now they are very old photos.
I am very happy for I can visit this place again with my lovely family.
The temple has suffered a lot of damage, but we can still see it beautifully and wonderfully.
These are small temples in the Ta Prohm area.
These are my niece and my nephew's son and my niece’s daughter, they are in the door of temple.
This is a statue of Buddha inside the temple, but it has lost its head. My little daughter asked me that, why all the statues lost their heads? I told her that the thief stole the head of God and sold it abroad. And she asked why they did not take the whole? I say maybe because they were too heavy, they just took the head.
I hope you enjoyed my short story and the pictures of ancient temples of Khmer ancestors left behind. Thank you for your reading and visit here. Have a wonderful weekend.

one things that is amazing in Cambodian temple is the tree that grow in the body of the temple. It add uniqueness to the temple but also damaging for the longer terms. as thw root might damage the rock.
Does it far from Angkor Wat?
It is amazing that the ancient people can make such a huge and great temple like that, so sad that it is abandon and be like that.
There are many reasons why we abandon the temple and become like this. The change of residence of many kings of that period and during the war. After a long war we started to take care of the temple, but it was too late. We are also very sorry for those issues. It is probably more than 2 km from Angkor Wat. Thank you very much for your feedback. ❤️
Ah yes, i forgot about the war you had in the past. I hope that those temples can be saved and really taken care of.
it is so nice to see the beauty of the ancient temples, and usually makes me curious about the life in the past.
The temple in Siem Reap is always been amazing. Well, Senat is so gorgeous with long dresses.
You also look beautiful with dresses. Have a beautiful day my love 😍
I visited this temple a number of years back. It is amazing. The photos bring back so many memories.
Oh, really good! I hope you can come back again. Have a great day.
It really seems to me that I too have become acquainted with this ancient historical installation. I like to see such historical monuments, because there are many historical monuments to be found here. I like the photographs.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am glad you like, I will share with you more if you enjoyed it.
This magnificent historical temple still kicking until these days. Can't wait for them to discover more about this. Maybe alien tech 😅
Yes, it is still standing until now. Yes, maybe alien technology. Have a good day.
Beautiful detailing the masons did on the temple and I think that if they would ever try to cut the trees away from the temple, that the structures would crumble and fall.
Yes, this is also the reason why they do not cut down those trees. Thank you 😊
I would love to see the temples one more time before we leave in a few months. I bet it's quite nice now without the hordes of tourists.
There are tourists coming to visit every day, it just is not as much as before the disease of COVID-19. I hope see you in Cambodia someday. Thank you for your comment. Have a wonderful day.
I like old places like this. Thailand and neighboring Cambodia have the same temples and places, many places. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! I hope you share the old place in your country with us. Have a great day.
Thank you for sharing beautiful pictures, but in our place there are no such pictures, there are only mosques where people worship.
You are welcome! I am happy sharing with you all. Have a great day.
The temple look like temple in indonesia , prambanan and borobudur temple. they are old temples of Hindus and Budhist
I used to hear that too, they are similar. I hope one day I can visit the temple of Indonesia. Have a great day.
I would love to visit there again. Well, we were a little lost at that time. I don't know if I used to go there before but I think I went there 2 times.
I have never take you to Ta Prohm temple but you used to Angkor Wat.
the picture of the temple is really impressive, as seen in the picture the temple is hundreds of years old..
Yes, this temple is 836 years old. Thank you and have a beautiful day.
I will hope that, go to Siam Reap again one day.
You can go every time you want to go sister. Have a wonderful day.
