Ta Prohm is locating southwest of the East Mebon and east of Angkor Thom. Ta Prohm is one of the most popular temples to visit in the small circuit of the tour. Most attractive temple in Angkor city. Tourists can be accessed by the west gate and then exit through the eastern gate or in the opposite".

Info
Ta Prohm (Prasat Ta Prohm) is the modern name of the temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara. Located approximately one kilometer east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.

Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which 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 with visitors.
