The temple of tree is not only filled with beautiful gigantic trees, but it also had some of the most beautiful sandstone carving we saw on that day. Above is one of my favourite. Love the carving of the statue always reaching out into the sky. What with the bright blue skies behind as a backdrop, and the green leaves in front.... Totally in love with it.

Siem Reap - Ta Prohm Part 1
Finally, lunch time! We told Chork our driver to bring us to somewhere with local food. Perhaps he misunderstood us, although I did managed to try the Fish Amok I wanted. He took us to an eatery, and we invited him to have lunch with us. It was more of a lunch set, and personally I thought it was rather over priced. Almost 10SGD equivalent per person for a set rice meal and drinks. We did had a celebrity seated next to us though. I wasn't aware of it. I was eyeing his drinks and food with interest more than him. But when he left and came back cause he forgot his bags, I saw his face for the first time and though how handsome he looked. That was when the owner of the place told us that the guy seated next table to us was a popular celebrity in Cambodia. Haiya. Should have take a photo of him.

Siem Reap - Preah Khan Part 2
The Preah Khan temple wasn't without it's fair share of sandstone carving. They can be found in the corner, in the walls, in the roof, and almost every part of the building. But there were also a lot of ruins of rocks and stones all over the place. Explore at your own risk!
Here are some official info of the place. You can click and zoom in on the photo if you would like to read more about this place. There was a place they have set up with some exhibition explaining the place.

Siem Reap - Preah Khan Part 1
The next temple we went to required us to walk deep into the forest. At first I thought this was the temple that has all the trees swallowing it up, but soon realised that I was wrong. It does have a lot of trees walking in, and perhaps it used to have some giant trees inside the temple too as we saw signs of tree trunks that has been sawed off, perhaps due to safely concerns? Anyway, after a nice walk through the shaded path, we arrived at a pool of water.
