Ta Som

A lie in today for Christmas, but we were soon out on the temple trail again. Today we visited Ta Prohm which is where they filmed Tomb Raider, there are huge trees growing out of the temples. Then on to Pre Rup for panoramic views and finally Ta Som.

It's a Buddhist temple from the late 12th Century built by Jayavarman VII who the guide book describes as the Donald Trump of ancient Cambodia, I think he built a lot of temples. It has a huge strangler fig growing out of the top of one of the gateways.

Then back to Siem Reap to catch with our families, a Christmas cocktail and dinner. We vow to cook turkey when we get back.
