Only managed one temple on Day 3, which was Ta Promh. It's referred to by the local as the Tomb Raider temple because parts of the Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones movies were filmed here. As such, it's hugely popular with tourists and was wildly crowded.
The trees growing up and around the temple walls were really neat. It's definitely in worse shape than most of the other temples though. The temple is losing the battle with the surrounding trees!
There were a few other temples on the route (called the "inner loop") but I didn't have the patience for anymore so I had my Tuk Tuk driver bring me to a cupcake shop and hung out there for a while before flying to Bangkok to continue the adventure on the Thai beaches for a few days.
