Angkor Thom South Gate is one of the most iconic entrances to Angkor Thom, the last great capital of the Khmer Empire in Cambodia. Here’s a quick, clear overview:

🌟 What Makes the South Gate Special
• Most popular and best-preserved gate of Angkor Thom.
• Features a dramatic causeway lined with 54 gods (devas) and 54 demons (asuras) — all pulling the serpent naga in a scene from the Churning of the Ocean of Milk.
• The gate tower rises about 23 meters, with four serene Bayon-style faces looking in the cardinal directions, symbolizing the all-seeing Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (or King Jayavarman VII).

🧭 What You See as You Approach
• A long stone bridge over the moat leading to the city.
• The massive fortified gate made of laterite and sandstone.
• Carvings of elephants and garudas supporting the structure.
• A narrow passageway where only one vehicle can pass at a time.

🏛 Historical Context
• Built in the late 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII.
• Part of a defensive wall system enclosing the 9 km² city of Angkor Thom.
• Symbolizes both protection and spiritual guardianship.

📸 Visiting Tips
• Best light is early morning (soft sun and fewer crowds).
• The gate is a perfect entry point before exploring Bayon, located just inside.
• Look closely at the statues—some have been restored, some original, showing varied expression and wear.
