Best Answer

Khun Bang Klang Thao and Khun Pha Muang

Most historians believe the Thais, originated from southern China in the early part of the Christian era. Firstly forming a number of city-states in the north of what is present-day Thailand, in places like Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. Eventually the Thais migrated further south to the fertile central plains, and expanded their influence over nearly the whole of the Indochina Peninsula. Contradictory as it may seem, recent archaeological discoveries around the northeast territories suggest that the world's oldest Bronze Age civilization was flourishing in Thailand some 5,000 years ago.

Sukhothai was the first Thai kingdom. Founded in 1238 by two Thai governors, Khun Bang Klang Thao (Sri Inthrathit) and Khun Pha Muang who rebelled against the Khmers; giving independence to the region. Sukhothai period was the most flourishing period of Thailand. Gaining its independence in 1238 and quickly expanding its boundary of influence. Sukhothai period was considered to be a golden age of Thai culture.

Hope that helps.
