The South Gate, is one of the major entrances to Angkor Thom.

It is quite huge, as compared to the already huge elephant.


Trying to get a decent photo without any people surrounding the gate is a very tough challenge, as visitors are frequenting the place every minute.


The gate is identified for its many sculptured faces.
