Chumphon Gate

Behind Thao Suranari Monument, this old city gate dates from the 17th-century reign of King Narai the Great, who commanded a strong city wall to be built. The only one of four original gates remaining (the other three are reconstructions), Chumphon Gate is constructed of stone and brick covered with plaster, and is topped by a wooden watchtower with a tiled roof and decorated in Thai style.
