Greetings everyone, in Cambodia, many of you have probably heard about the absolutely amazing temples that can be found there. Today, it was my pleasure to take you on a virtual tour of one of the most renowned temples in Cambodia - Ta Prohm. Having through a journey from the city of Phnom Penh since early morning, I finally arrived at the enchanting town of Siem Reap late night. However, I planned to visit this temple early in the morning instead. Interestingly, the day I chose to visit was Khmer New Year festivities, also known, where most people usually focus on lively dancing and game. As a result, the temple grounds were not too crowded, offering me the perfect opportunity to enjoy myself in the beauty of Ta Prohm.

I believe I happened upon the precise and absolutely error-free moment when the warm rays of the sun transformed into a colorful like rainbow, appears with two perfectly round lines shaped the entrance of the temple, as I look in my eyes some people might didn't notice about this color pop up because it so light.

The beautiful sight definitely made people curious because it's not common to see such an amazing mix of nature's elements in Cambodia especially while visiting such an old temple. This unexpected and mind-blowing event was way better than what I expected, and it left me extremely amazed and thankful for being able to capture this incredible phenomenons.

I know you might already find the tourists place interesting since the tree is surrounded and the temple is in the middle as a main character, we currently stand at the entrance, where visiting happens to be free, requiring no purchase of tickets, should you desire to economize your expenses.

This temple is called Ta Prohm, built in a special place near the village of local people who frequently go out to explore its architecture, and culture. I love how the location is conveniently situated just merely a kilometer away along a road rather than requiring us to the mountain temple that we need to climb in order to reach their destination.

What makes this temple all the more appealing is the vibe of green, tall trees that populate the area, creating an atmosphere of freshness and wild accompanied by the sound of wild birds, which I personally find its beautiful. It's important to mention that before Siem Reap becoming this famous tourist spot, some temple was hidden in a thick forest. Researchers found this temple and showed another interesting part of Cambodia's impressive temple history.

If You Remember Temple Run🏃

Did you find this place familiar?

As I walk through the ancient temple in Cambodia, I overhear snippets of the guide's explanations, sharing information and history for the international tourists who have purchased the guided tour service that I opted out of. Despite not officially receiving the guide's expertise, I find myself enthralled by the rich history that I have heard about. Yes, similar to my history teacher used to teach me but the guide usually add the deep meaning behind each status. However, as I continue to walk to among the darker carved walls and towering structures, a multitude of questions pop up in my mind, want me to be asked the guide, but by the lack of opportunity to voice them. Being here it serves as a place reminder of the time I used to be addicted to playing Temple Run, a mobile game that had introduced me to the magnificence of ancient temples like the one I now stand in.
