| Siam really did not exist as a country then. First came the Kingdom of Sukhothai, established by King Indradhitaya in AD1238, after having beaten the Khoms, who were the rulers of the area at the time. The Kingdom of Ayudhya co-existed with Sukhothai at the time, after King U-Thong established the Kingdom in AD1350, and modelled it after Sukhothai and the Khoms. Sukhothai finally became part of Ayudhya in AD1438, thereby began the building of the Siamese Kingdom. The Kingdom of Siam extended in all directions over time, moved its capital city to Thonburi after the fall of Ayudhya, and finally to the Bangkok we see today since AD1782. | |
