Spectacular Trees - Ta Prohm Temple

📍Angkor Wat - Ta Prohm Temple
🏠Outer area of Angkor Wat
Angkor Thom is filled with numerous temple ruins of various sizes.
If you join a day tour, this temple is a must-see.
This is the filming location of Tomb Raider.
It is famous for its towering trees that entwine the temple.

The roots of the trees have damaged the ruins to some extent.
But why not remove them?
Because the trees have become one with the structure.
If removed, the temple might collapse.
The trees have become the rebar of this place.
The tour guide jokingly said:
Without the trees, who would come to this temple?
Meaning, it's for tourism 😂

It is truly spectacular up close.
The thousand-year-old trees are full of energy.
The real stars here are these trees 🌳
