Ta Prohm, the second major Angkor temple we are featuring in our Angkor temples feature is best known as the site where the Tomb Raider film with Angelina Jolie was filmed. Ta Prohm which was built in the late 12th or early in the 13th century is remarkable amount the Angkor temples. Located approximately one kilometre from Angkor Thom it has been overtaken by the jungle long ago and today can be seen with the jungle now forming part of the temple.
Giant trees and their root systems are growing in and around the existing temples forming an amazing array of images and iconic photos for visiting tourists. The fact it is still able to be enjoyed in much the same way as it was re-discovered is remarkable and will be one of the highlights of any visit to Cambodia.
Ta Prohm is one of the most visited temples in Angkor, the constant stream of tourists who link the temple with Tomb Raider and Angelina Jolie ensures you rarely get a photo without others appearing. I would recommend visitng Ta Prohm early in the morning, if you have two days in Siem Reap dedicated to the temples then aim to visit early in the morning as light is just rising. Ta Prohm is even more remarkable in the murky early morning light just as sun rises and you will have the best chance to capture those amazing pictures of Ta Prohm.
Ta Prohm is in a much greater state of ruin than many of the other temples, but this is what makes it remarkable. Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and others have had and continue to have ongoing repair and maintenance work done. Ta Prohm stands out as a temple in decay with rocks and walls leaning on angles, walls partially crumbled and some walls proped up for the safety of tourists. But this is what makes Ta Prohm a must see when visiting the Angkor temples.
