The main destination is Siem Reap where we can find the Angkor Wat – the largest religious monument in the world and of course Ta Phrom – an unrestored monastery famous for large trees sprouting out of the temple. But it’s more famous as “Tomb Raider Temple” or the “Angelina Jolie Temple” due to its depiction in the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
