Taprom Kel was built by the king Jayavarman VII late of 12th century dedicated to Buddha. Taprom Kel is one of 102 hospitals was built built by the Jayavarman VII and Taprom Kel was decorated with the temple and Taprom Kel has 3 false dears.
Ta Prohm Kel has a single, now collapsed tower, called prasat, with a doorway facing the east. The other three sides are decorated with false doors. As with the Chapel of the Hospital at Ta Keo, Ta Prohm Kel is also done in the style of the Bayon. A drainage channel, called somasutra, allows lustral water to flow out of the northern wall of the sanctuary.
Ta Prohm Kel (a different monument from Ta Prohm) is 450 meters north of Angkor Wat, on the road towards Angkor Thom. Look for it on the left side of the road before reaching the foot of Phnom Bakheng. Ta Prohm Kel is an insignificant Angkor site, and is unlikely to be featured in the itinerary of packaged tours. You most likely have to explore it on your own. It is not really worth your time unless you are a serious Angkor enthusiast. The tuk tuk driver who took me, Mr Han, was able to find it, so if you require his services, you can try to contact him, Mr Han (contact details below), to see if he is available to take you.
