Ta Som: 9 Oct 2003
  
  A pyramid of receding terraces on which are placed many detached edifices, the most effective being the five towers which crown the top. Could any conception be lovelier, a vast expanse of sky-tinted water as wetting for a perfectly ordered temple.  
  

 

Tranquility

The most distant temple on the grand circuit, Ta Som is a small unrestored quiet temple and affords a delightful undisturbed visit.

   
  

Apsaras

Here the execution of the apsara carvings is better than most other temples, and many of the carvings show an uncommon individuality in the faces and bodies.

 
  

Hidden

A huge ficus tree grows atop the east gopura, providing another dramatic example of nature and art entwined.
