The Sukhothai era marked a period of great cultural development. Under King Ramkhamhaeng the Great who ruled from 1275 to 1315, the land of Sukhothai was thriving. There were fish in the water and rice in the fields. Due to the kingdom's prosperity, it is regarded as a "golden age" in the Thai history.</span></span></span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size:12px;color:initial;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Then in the 1350, a new dynasty led by King Ramathibodi I (Uthong) established a new capital at Ayutthaya, and in 1378 during the reign of King Borommaracha I, Sukhothai was subdued to become a tributary state of Ayutthaya. The Ayutthaya kingdom survived several wars with Burma before falling to the invading Burmese in 1767.</span></span></span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size:12px;color:initial;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Following this defeat, the Thais led by King Taksin retreated south and established another capital at Thon Buri. On his death in 1782, the King was succeeded by King Phra Buddha Yodfah Chulaloke (Rama I) who moved the capital across the river to the present location in Bangkok as Thon Buri was too vulnerable to Burmese attack. The King founded the Chakri dynasty which rules the country to the present day.</span></span></span></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size:12px;color:initial;"><span style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Many thanks: http://www.thaila</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">ndlife.com</span></span></span></p></span><br />.................................................................................................................<br /><table><tbody><tr><td><script src="http://www.widgeo.net/geocompteur/geocompteur.php?c=geoall1&id=1443097&adult=0&cat=art&fonce=undefined&claire=undefined"></script></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><br /><noscript><a href="http://www.widgeo.net/">widgeo.net</a></noscript><br /><a href="http://www.widgeo.net/"><img alt="widgeo.net" border="0" src="http://www.widgeo.net/img/logopm.png" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; "><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); "><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/muaythai009-20" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 51, 34); ">CD / DVD / BOOK at Amazom.com</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); "><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/muaythai009-20" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 51, 0); ">Amazon.com Store</a></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/muaythai009-20" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 51, 34); "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdQYho0ZH-FlAhyyR0yO1pmg3HmvWxD9GCFz3xQ7cj5Mjtt8iWcoI_knCSARp6i0n_mY1XXGDXtajB4tazlUMo1LB2BHxxhbhHtUJt2Xu2scWg9Gb0TmgV5ubtpgma3N1lK-HCva0qsDHt/s320/sawasdamazon2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500822961397626258" style="border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; position: relative; padding-top: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 8px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.496094) 1px 1px 5px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 54px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; " /></a></div></span>Dokkadaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08359198141567961002noreply@blogger.com1
