Featured in Tomb Raider, this beautifully-overgrown UNESCO World Heritage Site is the focus of a ‘Young Earth’ conspiracy.
Ta Prohm Temple was built in the 12th century by Jayavarman VII. Originally a Buddhist monastery, Ta Prohm is centered around the giant stone face of Prajnaparamita, the personification of wisdom, whose features were based on the king’s mother. Eventually the Khmer empire fell, and Ta Prohm was abandoned. When it was rediscovered by French archaeologists in the early 20th century, Ta Prohm had almost entirely been reclaimed by the jungle - giant banyan trees growing over and through the delicately carved stonework. Now, the roots are as much a part of the walls as the stone, and are meticulously maintained, making for a picturesque ‘rawness’ that landed the temple an appearance in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Of the many carvings decorating the temple walls, one is especially noteworthy for the controversy surrounding it: the diminutive Dinosaur of Ta Prohm. This hand-sized carving bears a striking resemblance to a Triceratops, and while an easy explanation is that it’s a cow or rhino with a palm tree in the background, a certain sect of Creationists say it’s evidence dinosaurs walked alongside man.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
