Preah Vihear temple - Preah Vihear temple or Preah Vihear (ប្រាសាទព្រះវិហារ - Prasat Preah Vihear), Dângrêk Mountains in Cambodia. Prasat Preah Vihear belongs to Cambodia and is located in Preah Vihear Province (ខេត្តព្រះវិហារ). most of the temple was constructed during the reigns of the kings Suryavarman I (1002–1050) and Suryavarman II (1113–1150).

Preah Vihear - Prasat Preah Vihear (Khmer: ប្រាសាទព្រះវិហារ - Thai: ปราสาทเขาพระวิหาร), Khmer temple located in the Dângrêk Mountains (Thai: ทิวเขาพนมดงรัก) in Cambodia (ព្រះរាជាណាចក្រកម្ពុជា) and on the border of Sisaket Province ((Thai: ศรีสะเกษ)) in north-eastern Thailand

Ta Phrom - The outer wall measures 1km east-west and 650m north-south, certainly big enough to accomodate the 12,640 people mentioned in the temple's inscription. Within, another wall 250m x 220m marks the fourth enclosure (numbered, as usual with Khmer temples, from centre outwards). Similiar proportions are repeated at Preah Khan and Banteay Kdei, which were built at about the same time.

Ta Phrom - Ta Prohm (តាព្រហ្ម) - the trees that have grown intertwined among the ruins are especially responsible for Ta Prohm's athmosphere, and have promted more writers to descriptive excess than any other feature of Angkor. There are two species: the larger is the silk-cotton tree distinguished by its thick, pale brown roots with a knobbly texture, the smaller is the strangler fig, with a greater mass of thinner, smoother grey roots.

Rajavihara - This was the temple chosen by the Ecole Francaise d'Extreme-Orient to be left in its natural state, as an example of how most of Angkor looked on its discovery in the 19th century. This was an inspired decision, and involved a significant amount of work to prevent further collapse and enough clearing of vegetaton to allow entry. It has been maintained in this condition of apparent neglect. All in all, Ta Prohm has the romantic appeal of, say, a Piranesi ruin: partly overgrown and gently declining.

Ta Phrom - Ta Prohm (តាព្រហ្ម) - One of the major temples of Jayavarman VII - in fact a temple monastery - Ta Phrom features a set of concentric galleries with corner towers and 'gopuras', but with many other additional buildings and enclosures. The complexity of its layout is increased by its partly collapsed state, with trees interlaced among the ruins. According to its stele, which until recently was 'in situ', the principal divinities of Ta Prohm were installed in 1186 to transfer merit to the king's mother.

Thommanon - Thommanon, temple in very good condition, built at the same time as Angkor Wat. The Angkor Wat style is most easily seen in the style of the carved apsaras and towers. Constructed late 11th - early 12th century C.E. King/Patron: Suryavarman II

Ta Prohm trees - Ta Prohm - Intentionally left partially unrestored, massive fig and silk-cotton trees grow from the towers and corridors offering some of the bast tree-in-temple photo opportunities at Angkor
