Peaceful temple founded by Jayavarman VII in the late century, in the Bayon style and dedicated to the Buddha
Like the temple of Ta Nei, Ta Som is located a little away from the tourist circuits. It reigns there a peaceful atmosphere and the few visitors come there especially to admire the giant ficus which completely swallowed one of the gopuras. Built by Jayavarman VII at the end of the 12th century, this temple dedicated to Buddha is in the style of the Bayon, with its towers surrounded by enigmatic faces. Work was carried out by Henri Marchal in 1930, but the whole has suffered a lot from vegetation. Some pediments lying on the ground are worth a look.

Un assez joli temple assez longiligne qui émerge à peine de la jungle. Rien d’exceptionnel à l'intérieur (comparé aux autres temples du parc archéologique) mais une magnifique porte prise dans sa gangue de racines. Prenez le temps de dénicher les sculptures dans le temple. Faites aussi le tour du temple par l'extérieur pour voir les magnifiques arbres avec les lianes qui forment de véritables cascades depuis la cime.

Ta Som , temple a demi ruiné avec quatre tours à visage dont une tour envahie par un ficus magnifique . Le reste est pas mal éffondrè mais intéressant.

Il faut aller jusqu'au bout des ruines de ce temple pour pouvoir admirer une belle tour visage surmontée d'un magnifique ficus. C'est un très bel endroit.

Petit temple, pas grand chose à visiter si ce n'est une belle porte recouverte par des racines
The best at Angkor and around
