Ligor

Ligor, later Nakhon Si Thammarat, was a Thai mueang on the Malay Peninsula's east coast, succeeding Tambralinga. In 1337 it was the peninsula's dominant Thai mueang after regaining independence from Sukhothai.

In 1468 Ayutthaya listed Ligor among its eight great cities. Its dynasty remained under Ayutthayan rule but rebelled in 1629 and 1688; Taksin reabsorbed it in 1769. Under the Bangkok kings it became a governorship and led their forces against Kedah in 1821 and 1831.
