The South Gate of Angkor Thom, or Tonle Om Gate, is one of the five ancient gates dating back to the 12th century that provide access through the 8m high laterite walls of Angkor Thom. The South Gate has the best restored causeway and reveals the awe-inspiring effect that must surely have been one of the original intentions of its ancient builders. In its day, there would have been no doubt that you were entering the realm of the gods and looking down on one of the truly greatest wonders of the world, an effect it still has today.
