Ta Som is one of the secondary type temples in Angkor. Still very impressive on its own, but tends to be skipped by many people. Go right through to the back to see a Ta Phrom type tree holding up the temple.

塔遜寺是電影《古墓麗影》的主要取景地之一，東塔門與古樹糾纏的景象以及寺內生動的女神浮雕依然令人印象深刻。在寺廟的東西兩側各有一個入口，是呈十字形的石塔門，石塔上四面各刻有佛臉，類似於通王城城門上的四面佛。其中，東邊入口的門廊被巨大的樹根包裹著，像是在被吞噬一般，是塔遜寺的一大特色。而在西邊入口則可以看到門洞上方的人物雕刻，有人猜測那就是塔遜將軍，也就是為塔遜將軍而建的寺。

Ta Som Temple is one of the main filming locations of the movie 'Tomb Raider'. The scene of the East Tower Gate entangled with ancient trees and the vivid goddess reliefs in the temple still leave a deep impression. There is an entrance on each side of the temple, which are cross-shaped stone tower gates. Each side of the stone tower is carved with a Buddha face, similar to the four-faced Buddha on the gate of the Royal City. Among them, the porch of the entrance on the east side is wrapped in huge tree roots, as if being swallowed, which is a major feature of Ta Som Temple. At the west entrance, you can see the figure carvings above the door hole. Some people guess that it is General Ta Som, that is, the temple built for General Ta Som.

Ta Som was built toward the end of the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. It is a Buddhist temple built in Bayon style dedicated to his father. 
Most visitors on the Grand Circuit Tour will visit here before or after Neak Pean or Pre Rup, 4 to 6 minutes drive either one.
Ta Som is a single tower in the middle of the complex surroundings by three enclosing walls. The entry point in the east and west sides have four carved faces looking into each direction. 
You should try to visit Ta Som, because it has been wonderfully restorted and nearly every part of the temple is open to visitors.

Exploring Angkor Thom Temple, a 12th-century marvel, was an awe-inspiring journey. The site's claim to fame lies in its 200 intricately carved, large smiling faces adorning the stone walls—a testament to ancient Khmer craftsmanship. Walking through the temple's grandeur, the historical weight and cultural significance of this architectural gem became palpable. 
Each stone seemed to whisper tales of a bygone era, evoking a deep appreciation for the artistry and vision that shaped Angkor Thom. As sunlight bathed the weathered stones, the atmosphere resonated with a timeless aura. This visit was not merely a touristic escapade but an immersion into the rich tapestry of Cambodia's history, making Angkor Thom a truly remarkable and culturally significant destination.

Beneath the sun's warm embrace, I tread,
To Preah Vihear Pram Pi Lveng, I'm led,
East of the Royal Palace, a hidden gem,
Rarely seen, a local's sacred hymn.

Unseen by tourists' wandering eyes,
A treasure of whispers, beneath azure skies,
Within walled sanctuary, secrets reside,
Stone terrace rises, with reverence beside.

Four steps, like stories, the past unfolds,
Leading to the shrine, where devotion molds,
A Buddha's gaze, serene and tall,
Rests upon a naga's ancient call.

In quiet reverence, locals gather near,
A sacred place, where faith is clear,
Preah Vihear Pram Pi Lveng's embrace,
Timeless sanctity, its sacred grace.

The Angkor Archaeological Park is the capital city ruins of the Angkor Dynasty in Cambodia, and it is also the world's largest religious temple complex. The existing relics mainly include the Angkor Thom (Great Angkor) and the Angkor Wat (Little Angkor).
For hundreds of years, from being submerged to being discovered and restored, the ancient ruins have finally been presented to the world. The Angkor ruins have become a symbol of Cambodia and a world cultural heritage site.
Shuttle between Angkor Wat and marvel at the Khmer architecture from the bottom of your heart. Every stone carving is so realistic and perfect, with smooth lines and vivid details. Their smiling faces are deeply imprinted in your mind.
Angkor Night Market As a foodie, I never forget to eat wherever I go. Various fruits and insects 🪲 are delicious dishes that can be tasted. At first, I was a little scared to eat, but after eating for a while, I found the taste quite good.
Beng Mealea, which means lotus pond, although now what is presented in front of us is a pile of rubble, difficult to restore to its original state; but we can still see the glorious moments of the Angkor dynasty from these ruins.
👍Most recommended:
There are many ancient ruins in Angkor, with low local consumption. There are often many three-wheeled motorcycles with awnings parked outside the hotel🛺. They can seat 4 people and you can tour the city for 2💲/person. The locals are very simple and friendly, and will enthusiastically introduce the attractions to us in not very standard Chinese. Every time we arrive at a scenic spot, they will stop and ask if we need to get off and visit. It feels very good.
You can try various fried insects, crispy, but if you have a weak stomach, don't eat too much.
