  Nanchao   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
After that, Nanchao acted as an independent power in the region of inner South Eeast Asia organizing raids and campaigns into Burma (Pyu kingdom), northern Thailand, and even as far as Chenla (Cambodia), although it appears that it deferred to the Tibetans, then at the height of their power as nomadic aggressors.
It was also during Nanchao's heyday that the Burmese began to infiltrate into northern Myanmar and the Thais commenced their gradual occupation of Laos and northern Thailand.
The formation of self-defending kingdoms around Nanchao's southern periphery indicted further Nanchao aggressions and the state mostly stagnated until it was engulfed in 1253 by the Mongol tide then encircling and reducing the Song Dynasty in China.
