Prasat Cham

PHANOM DONG RAK DISTRICT-CAMBODIA 2022

Before our two-kilometre hike up to to Prasat Ta Moen, we visited this smaller and much more ruined temple, about a kilometer from Prasat Ta Moen, this Temple is in the middle of Casava fields and the most stunning scenery I have ever seen.

In a much more ruined state than many of the temples we visited, it non the less had a great charm about it and I almost loved its untouched and abandoned state. It certainly was a beautiful and calm place to be surrounded by cool shady trees!

This Temple was more about its setting than its architecture,
