South Gate to Angkor Thom, from Angkor Wat

The South Gate is the most well known of the 5. It is the main entrance and gateway for tourists into the great Angkor Thom. During peak seasons, this gate can be extremely crowded and don’t be surprised if you see a small traffic jam of tuk-tuks here. It provides the most common access route to Angkor Thom, predominantly because it sits on the path between the two great Angkor complexes. The gate is a wonderful introduction to Angkor Thom, with well-restored statues of asuras (demons) and gods lining the bridge. The figures on the left, exhibiting serene expression, are the gods, while those on the right, with grimaced, fierce-looking heads, are the asuras.
