Kapok Tree
Prasat Ta SomThere're still other temples that I haven't covered yet. Angkor is really a large religious area and it's quite impossible to cover it up in one day. Even if you really interested in it's history - one month also was not enough.
Our story continue with King Jayavarman VII - dedicated one of the temple his built to his father. Prasat Ta Som - literally means ancestor father (if I not mistaken!), built at the end of 12th century.
It looks like a miniature of Ta Phrom - one of the beautiful temple of Angkor, and its still badly dilapidated. Thanks to the nature - you can see how does the old temple looks like when they first discovered. Huge kapok tree grew as if it been nurtured by the temple itself.

From left : The King and its heir?; one of the Apsara's figure quite unusual as never been seen elsewhere - this one wringing out her hair!
Dark path to the world of unknown. Does the fortune and glory that will be waiting for me pass through this or maybe the world of misery lurking down beneath that waiting to entangle me with it. - huh! I don't exactly what's the meaning!
