Angkor Thom was built by Cambodia’s greatest builder, Jayavarman VII. This 10 square kilometer  city is enclosed by an eight meter high wall  and encircled by a 100metre moat said to have been inhabited by fierce crocodiles. There are five 20metre high gates in the wall in each of the North, West, and South walls and two in the East wall. Access is via causeways over the moat that are flanked by the statues of 54 Gods on the left and 54 devils on the right, all seemingly engaged in a game of tug of war.
