Far East Kingdoms

Sukhothai Kingdom
AD 1238 - 1438

Founded in the north-central region in 1238 by two Thai governors, Khun Bang Klang Thao (Si Inthrathit) and Khun Pha Muang. Government was by Patriarchic Politics, and was the first Thai leadership to be established without Khmer domination. The Sukhothai Period was considered to be a golden age of Thai culture. During that time, everybody could say 'there are fish in the water and rice in the fields', in other words, an abundance of resources. Potters entered Thai artistry and extensive trade was established with the Khmer and India. The first Thai writing system was created (derived from Khmer) by King Ramkhamhaeng.
