The "Ta Phrom" temple receives many visitors because it is known as the "jungle temple". The jungle growth assisted by the massive trees have intertwined their root network with the temple's structure. Any attempt to remove the roots or kill the trees would destroy the temple. Its beauty is in its relationship with its surroundings. You might recognize some of these photos since major scenes of the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" were photographed on this site.
The last picture is of musical group whose members have had serious injuries from land mines...they are making their living by using their talents and share all proceeds to support themselves.
We are exhausted...the temperature is over 100F...we are hungry, grubby, sweating and have enjoyed every minute of this trip...
