Tha Phae Gate (Northern Thai: ᨸᨲᩪᨴ᩵ᩣᩯᨻ; Thai: ประตูท่าแพ, Thai pronunciation: [prā.tūː tʰâː pʰɛ̄ː]) is the eastern and most famous gate of Chiang Mai, Thailand. It stands at the eastern side of the old walled city and today serves as a major landmark and public gathering place. The current structure is a reconstruction from 1985–1986, built on the site of the historic gate.
