Ta Prohm

Ta Prohm is the temple that has been left largely in its natural state since its discovery by French archeologists.

Banteay Srei
|
Stands in isolation about 32 kilometers from Angkor Wat like a jewel enshrined in case of jungle greenery. It is the most intricately carved of all the temples, in pink sandstone. Built in A.D 967, the temple marks a clear transition in architecture. Unlike its heavier multiple-terraced predecessors, Banteay Srei or the ": Citadel of the Women", is built on one level with its exquisite tower shrines and libraries creating a delicate sense of space. |

In a country where fish is the staple source of protein and land is at a premium, most villages are located along the lakes and rivers and many are built to actually float on the waterways. This is especially the case around the shores of the enormous Tonle Sap Great Lake. |
