Angkor Wat Photo Gallery - Ta Som & Neak Pean (Eastern Circuit)
Ta Som is a small Buddhist temple built at the end of the 12th century although little is known about its purpose. With 3 concentric enclosures, the temple is famous for a tree that has enclosed one of the buildings. This is a miniature version of Ta Prohm.
Neak Pean dates from the late 12th century and comprises a tower on a circular island. The surrounding pond is believed to symbolize a sacred Himalayan lake that had healing properties.
