This is the tree from the infamous scene in Lara Croft Tomb Raider. After Angelina Jolie spent time here to film the movie, she feel in love with the country so much that she ended up adopting kids from here. Later on, her and one of her children ended up directing the largest film to come out of Cambodia, ‘The Man Who Killed my Father’.
Thank you for the correction, I think I was fusing the title of the book (and movie) with that of the sequel book.
