1540 CE to 1683 CE

Burma, rising under an aggressive dynasty, overruns Chiang Mai and Laos and makes war on the Thai.

In 1569 Burmese forces, joined by Thai rebels, capture the city of Ayutthaya and carry off the royal family to Burma.

Dhammaraja (1569-90), a Thai governor who had aided the Burmese, is installed as vassal king at Ayutthaya.

Thai independence is restored by his son, King Naresuan (1590-1605), who turns on the Burmese and drives them from the country by 1600.
