Victory Gate of Angkor Thom

Victory Gate, Angkor Thom (24 February, 2006)


The Victory Gate is probably the second most used gateway into Angkor Thom after the South Gate. Visitors leaving Angkor Thom through this Gate will be able to visit a number of significant ruins, among them Ta Prohm, Ta Keo and Banteay Kdei.

How to reach Angkor Thom Victory Gate

Angkor Thom Victory Gate is accessible from either side. The first is from Angkor Thom itself. Most visitors are likely to arrive at the Victory Gate from this direction, as they have earlier visited the South Gate, Bayon and the Royal Palace, in such succession. On the other hand, you can also reach it from the road often called the Small Circuit. That is to say, from the direction of Srah Srang, Banteay Kdei, Ta Prohm, Thommanon and Chau Say Tevoda.

Decide for yourself how thoroughly you wish to explore Angkor and plan accordingly. If you have seen the South Gate, then I must say that the Victory Gate looks pretty much similar, so decide whether it is worthwhile to stop here. The best way to explore is by tuk tuk, which you can hire from Siem Reap town.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
