Loe Thai

Loe Thai was the fourth king of Sukhothai, succeeding his father Ram Khamhaeng around 1298. The tributaries his father had won broke away, including Uttaradit, Luang Prabang and Vientiane, and Hanthawaddy in 1319, while U Thong rose in the south. Around 1312 he launched an expedition against Champa.

A devout Buddhist, he reproduced Sri Lankan Buddha footprints and bore the title Dhammaraja. He died in 1323, and the throne passed to his cousin Ngua Nam Thum.
