The gate of South Gate is 23 meters high and the gate is in a tower-shaped structure. The reason why the gate is built so high is said to facilitate the passage of the war elephants. The tower of the south gate also has four four-faced Buddhas facing east, west, south and north. The Erawan Buddhas smiled peacefully and examined everyone entering the city with a compassionate look. It is said that the face of the Erawan Buddhas at South Gate, like the Bayan Temple, is carved according to the true appearance of Jehovah VII (JayavarmanVII).
