I can completely see the appeal for film makers in Ta Prohm built in the 12-13th century unlike the other temples this one has been left in the condition it was found. The
photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples. Currently some parts of Ta Prohm are being restored which kind of took some of the magic away for us..hammering and crane noises etc though the deeper you get the further away everything else seems and now we could focus on well..the now :) it makes you want to climb and jump across boulders and swing from ropes and be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft. It's an incredible place full of what feels like magic, overgrown cotton trees with enourmous root bases wrapping and interlacing through the temple walls. It makes you want to find out where they've had to venture from just to work their way to where they now rest.
The corridors, tunnels and hidden passage ways make this temple one of my favourites, it genuinely feels like a crumbling maze under your feet.
