Some of the temples like Ta Prom are only partly restored and are covered in giant silk cotton and fig trees. Others have been completely dismantled, mostly by the French, and put back together like a giant puzzle. Each temple complex has some thing different to offer - e.g. amazingly detailed stone carvings, jungle settings or shear scale. Taking a break from the temples we snacked on grasshoppers and water beatles by West Baray - a favoured local hangout and one of 2 huge rectangle lakes dug out by hand by the Khymers centuries ago.
