Thais began to emerge as a dominant force in the region in the 13th century,
gradually asserting independence from existing Khmer and Mon kingdoms. Founded by
Khun Pha Muang and Khun Bang Thao in 1238, the Kingdom was named by its rulers
"the dawn of happiness". The Sukhothai Period is often considered the golden era of Thai
history, an ideal Thai state in a land of plenty governed by paternal and benevolent kings,
the most famous of whom was King Ramkamhaeng the Great (c.1279-98), who greatly
expanded the Kingdom's borders.
ln addition to developing eome of the most beautiful Thai art, the Sukhothai Kingdom is
credited with developing the modern Thai alphabet. However, following the death of King
Ramkamhaeng, the mightier stae of Ayutthaya gradually exerted its infuence over
Sukhothai.
