Today, I want to share with you my recent trip visiting an awesome ancient temple in Cambodia, I think this temple would be the interesting one that you might rarely heard about its name before because mostly when we talk about temple in Cambodia, tourists must focus on Angkor Wat, but sure there are more amazing temple to explore in Cambodia especially in Siem Reap, a tourists province that is the top lost to go for tourism.

My journey to this temple was a bit confused as I don't know clearly about the direction all I do is asking local people without any map.

Sour Proat

As soon as I stepped onto the land of temple, it gives me such a traditional vibe of its design with rich history as you can see from the art along the stone wall.

Nearly almost arrived here with crowded, that is what my expectations, but no it was just a few visitors here making me feel more relaxing as feel like no noise at all.

And the good atmosphere I noticed about this place is more that the beauty of the temple.

Have been visiting many temple in Angkor Archeological Park, I think this temple offer another Beauty different styles from the other one, the size isn't ways that big compared to Angkor Wat.

I can say Cambodia during that time have a special talent related to architecture each building would be last a long time or expected to last forever perpetual stunning.

I just expect that this architecture have more things to explore besides the stone use for building, all I was thinking about would be the classical thing associates with culture, lifestyle during that era even though it just a little things, but for me it could describe alot which can get us to know more about Cambodia ancient culture.

About 15 minutes after visiting the inside of the temple, I feel alot of pleasure to see new things that I haven't seen before or count as the wonderful time while I can see even without touching.

I try to call my daughter to follow me and move to another site of the temple but seems like she didn't hear me at all I think she just think I enjoy taking more photos surrounding here. Well, one specific rule or could be the respect of ancient temple here in Cambodia is that every visitors shouldn't shout out so loud or speck too loud in the temple environment. SO, instead of that I try to send a message to my daughter saying we need to move on.

There's something about visiting a temple that just fills me with a sense of wonder and excitement. Maybe it's the intricate carvings and architecture that have stood the test of time, or maybe it's the stories and legends that have been passed down through generations. Whatever it is, I just can't get enough!

But enough of my walking as my feet get tired, I discussed with my daughter to get back to the bench in front of the entrance. The historical carvings and a beautiful architecture are truly a sight that attract everybody attention. Every corner you turn, there is something a little similar, but I promise it won't make you get bored, there's another beautiful detail to enjoy both in the interior and outside.
