Our second day we visited Prasat Kravan, a brick temple with its relief carvings – very interesting on how they did it.  One temple we visited was fully built but as they started the carving process, it was struck by lightening, a bad omen, and it was immediately abandoned.  It was interesting to see how rudimentary the temple looked without any carvings.

Then straight out of the Temple of Doom, we visited Ta Prom that was abandoned and swallowed by the jungle.  It looks now how most of the temples appeared when the were discovered by the Europeans in the 19th century.  The trees are so integral to the structure now, it is impossible to restore.  The trees are massive and in several cases, a ficus tree grew around another tree and killed it.
