Haripunjaya also fell under Khmer rule in the II century and was finally conquered at the end of the 13th by King Mangrai, ruler of the northern kingdom of Lan Na.

By 1297, under the leadership of the dynamic King Mengrai, a northern kingdom known as Lan Na Thai extended from Chiang Saeng in the far north through to Chiang Rai, Chang Mai, Lamphun and Lampang.
Chiang Mai was established as the capital of the kingdom, which shared the Buddhist belief and to some extent the culture of the earlier Mon kingdom of Haripunjaya in the Lamphung region.
The art produced in the Lan Na Thai Kingdom between 11th and 18th centuries AD is the object of current scholarly debate, as many influences have contributed to its distinctive qualities, including those from Haripunjaya, Angkor.

These insights include the symbolic structure of Buddhist cosmology, the close association of Buddhism and the founding of city states, the interrelationship of popular Buddhist ethical teachings and devotional religion, and the inherently syncretic nature of Buddhism as presented in a text indebted to the folkloric traditions of Northern Thailand.
One of the most striking features of the book is the parallelism between the text's dominant narratives--the Buddha's journey to Northern Thailand and his prediction of the discovery of a Buddha relic by King Adittaraja (eleventh century C.E.), and the founding by Queen Cama of a lineage destined to govern Haripunjaya for five hundred years.
The Buddha and Queen Cama are equal partners in this creative, cosmically significant act.
