Ramkhamhaeng the Great
?–1298 CE · Sukhothai
Ramkhamhaeng the Great (reigned c. 1279–1298) was the third king of the Sukhothai kingdom and one of the most revered figures in Thai history. Thai tradition credits him with devising the Thai script in 1283, a claim tied to the famous Sukhothai Inscription No. 1 whose exact origin scholars still debate. His reign is remembered as a prosperous era that expanded Sukhothai's influence and promoted Theravada Buddhism, and he is honored as a founding father of Thai writing and statecraft.
