The Takav Gate, one of the five gates of Angkor Thom, located to the west of Bayon Temple, will attract more tourists to visit and take pictures and become the new tourist destination, after the renovation project is completed.

 

According to the APSARA National Authority, Angkor Thom’s Takav Gate had been in a state of disrepair due to age, climate, war, lack of care, while the four elephant sculptures at the corners had been severely damaged by trees and roots growing into the structure.

 

A large part of the gate, especially the top of the gate, which had four Brahma faces, as well as the adjoining structures of the stone gates, had slipped out of its original position, with some of the stones falling down, requiring temporary support. and having used the cable for more than 10 years. There is still a high risk due to the decay of the tree, the loose cable, and the roots of the trees.
