TA SOM
Peaceful temple founded by Jayavarman VII in the late century, in the Bayon style and dedicated to the Buddha
Like the temple of Ta Nei, Ta Som is located a little away from the tourist circuits. It reigns there a peaceful atmosphere and the few visitors come there especially to admire the giant ficus which completely swallowed one of the gopuras. Built by Jayavarman VII at the end of the 12th century, this temple dedicated to Buddha is in the style of the Bayon, with its towers surrounded by enigmatic faces. Work was carried out by Henri Marchal in 1930, but the whole has suffered a lot from vegetation. Some pediments lying on the ground are worth a look.
