Cambodia 2011


Tuesday - January 25th

Temple explorations today.

Ta Prohm 6 AM arrival - experiencing sunrise inside the courtyard of the temple made famous by Angelina Jolie. Inside Ta Prohn is where many segments of the movie Tomb Raider were filmed back in 2000.

Read Ta Prohm's history beyond Hollywood's recent notoriety.
