		This was the situation for the legendary Lao Prince Fa Ngum, who founded the kingdom of Lan Xang - the land of the million elephants - together with its capital Louang Phrabang - the mountain of the holy golden Buddha.
		The diaspora of the Tai peoples (which include the Thai and the Lao, among others) was given fresh impetus by the Mongol conquest of China and the destruction of the state of Nanchao, which had previously acted as a shield for Southeast Asia against marauding nomads on their horses.
