Angkor Thom Khloung Thvear Ta Keo (អង្គរធំខ្លោងទ្វារតាកាវ - Pronounced: Angkor Tom T'vear K'lowng Ta Kay'ow )
Commonly known as the West Gate, was until recently one of the quietest, least-visited of Angkor Thom's entry gates although the old track has since been upgraded to facilitate access to the central area of Angkor Thom.
Heading out of Angkor Thom across the huge moat of the enclosed city is a laterite causeway or bridge, that we have listed as Angkor Thom Spean Ta Keo.
(For architectural details please see the North gate, Angkor Thom Khloung Thvear Ta Nok.
