"Chang Puek Gate," which was originally called "Hua Wiang Gate," is the f irst door on the north side. In the past, it was the main gate of the city. In the coronation ceremony, the ruler of the city will enter the city at this gate. Hua Wiang Gate changed its name to the "Chang Puek Gate" around the 23rd century.

Recently, on September 25, 2022, the city wall on the outside of “Chang Peuk Gate” brick wall had subsided and collapsed over a distance of 10 meters. They assumed that it was the result of heavy rain causing the soil that can not hold the water.
