Thailand: Provincial map of Thailand showing the approximate frontiers of the former Lan Na Kingdom (1292-1774) and the Kingdom of Chiang Mai (1781-1939) The Lan Na Kingdom effectively came into existence as an independent entity under King Mangrai the Great (r. 1259-1317), but the capital was not established at Chiang Mai ('New City') by Mangrai until 1892-1896. The Mangrai Dynasty ruled over an independent Lan Na Kingdom until 1558, when Chiang Mai was captured by Burma's King Bayinnaung (r. 1551-1581). Chiang Mai remained a Burmese tributary state until the Lan Na Revolt (1771-1774).
