Khamfu (Northern Thai: ᨤᩣᩴᨼᩪ; Thai: คำฟู) was the 4th monarch of the Lan Na Kingdom from the Mangrai dynasty,[1] reigning from 1334[2]/1338[3] to 1336[2]/1345[3].
Biography
[edit]Kham Fu, originally titled Thao Kham Fu, was the son of Saenphu. According to The Sip-Ha Rajawong Chronicle, it is stated:
“Chao Phaya Saenphu appointed his son, Chao Thao Khamfu, to govern Chiang Mai while he attended the funeral of his father, Phaya Chaiyasongkhram, in Chiang Rai. After a month, he remained in Chiang Rai. Later, he appointed his son, Thao Kham Fu, as Phraya of Chiang Mai at the age of 26, in the Year of the Dragon, corresponding to the Chula Sakarat 690.”[4]
After Khamfu was appointed as Phraya in Chiang Mai, Saenphu moved to rule in Chiang Saen. Upon Saenphu’s death, Khamfu succeeded him as Phraya in Chiang Saen, reigning between 1338–1345.
During his reign, Khamfu governed Chiang Mai with wisdom and foresight, bringing prosperity and peace to the city. His reign is remembered as a time of flourishing culture and tranquility, unmarred by war. During this time, he also allied with Phraya Phanong, the ruler of Pua, to launch a successful raid on Phayao,[5] annexing the previously independent state into the Lanna Kingdom.
According to The Chiang Mai Chronicle, Kham Fu died after being attacked by a ngueak[5] or a mermaid (Thai: เงือก; a word in ancient Lan Na referring to a crocodile) while bathing in the river.
After Khamfu’s death, his son Thao Phayu was crowned Phraya of Chiang Mai.
In 1926, the urn containing his royal ashes was discovered during the renovation of Wat Phra Singh led by Khruba Siwichai, and it was moved to the old Chiang Mai City Hall. However, the urn later disappeared without a trace, and no one has ever taken responsibility for its loss.[6]
