  Sukhothai kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sukhothai kingdom was a kingdom in the north of Thailand around the city Sukhothai.
The city of Sukhothai was part of the Khmer empire until 1238, when two Thai chieftains, Pho Khun Pha Muang and Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao, seceded and established a Thai kingdom.
Sukhothai became a tributary state of Ayutthaya between 1365 and 1378, and in 1438 a mere province.

 History-2
The new Thai state of Sukhothai is referred to by the Chinese of the late 13th century as Siem (Siam), a name that occurs in earlier Cham, Khmer and Burmese inscriptions, where it denotes Tai slaves and mercenary soldiers.
Sukhothai's power and influence expanded in all directions by conquest [the Khmer were driven southwards], by a farsighted network of marriage alliances with the ruling families of other Thai states, and by the use of a common religion, Theravada Buddhism, to cement relations with other states.
Sukhothai is generally considered to be the cradle of Thai culture and civilisation, and Ramkhamhaeng is revered as the father of the Thai nation.

Perhaps Sukhothai, 450 kilometres north of Bangkok, is not one of Thailand's most attractive towns, but just 12 kilometres away are the magnificent ruins of the Kingdom's first capital, from which the modern town takes its name.
Although Sukhothai's political and social organization was perfected under King Ramkamhaeng, the art and architecture of the city did not reach their apogee until around the mid 14th century.
Typically, Sukhothai Buddha images were far more stylized than anything that had gone before and are marked by a greater fluidity in the line of the body and an uncanny degree of serenity and spirituality expressed in the facial features.
