  Khun Borom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khun Borom Rachathirath is the legendary progenitor of the Tai-speaking peoples, considered by the Lao and others to be the father of their race.
Versions of the Khun Borom myth occur as early as 698 CE in Siang Khwang, and identify Tai-speaking kingdoms that would be formally established years later.
This split proceeded along geographic lines very similar to the division given in the Khun Borom legend, and left the original area of occupation of the Tai people- in Vietnam, in the vicinity of Dien Bien Phu- occupied by speakers from linguistic groups that may have already divirged earlier in history.

 Fa Ngum Founds the Holy City of Louang Phrabang
Details of Fa Ngum’s life may occasionally be sketchy and contradictory but we are lucky to be so well-served by Royal Laotian Chroniclers, who preserved so much of the history of their land through the tales of the deeds and lives of great men.
The Nithan Khun Borom (Chronicle of Lord Borom) is of the most help to us in this case.
Nevertheless, it is still necessary to be careful to cross-check details with contemporaneous Thai and Chinese records for corroboration, as well as looking to the admittedly limited amount of archaeology that has been conducted there.

 No.25 Thai-Yunnan Project Newsletter June 1994
Niti's work, which is still incomplete, appears to show how in a community like Khun Yuam, the demands of a Central Thai-speaking policy are balanced by community interests where Tai Jai and Kham Mang-speaking groups interact at official and some other levels, but maintain their own organizations, particularly wat.
This is in miniature a picture of what we traditionally had for Chiangmai where at the turn of the century Luang Anusarn created a Thai-speaking wat - Uppakut Thai, and such groups as Burmese, Tai Jai, and Pa-o had their own wat which used their own languages - a situation which continues today.
The book moves from The legend of Khun Borom to contemporary prospects of some kind of industrial boom across the Thai-Lao border.
