    Ta Prohm, also known as the Jungle Temple, is an area of temple ruins overgrown with trees, located near Siem Reap, Cambodia.  The temple is pretty much in the same condition as it was initially found: with the roots of the trees growing through the temple structures and the jungle all around!  This spectacular temple is a MUST-SEE in Cambodia.  Ta Prohm was used as one of the filming locations in the Tomb Raider movie.
