Description: |
|
Pha Mueang (full name Pho Khun Pha Mueang, late 13th century -
mid 14th century) was a Thai nobleman and general who was the
Lord of Rad and played an important role in founding the kingdom
of Sukhothai. Pha Mueang is said to be a descendant of Nam
Thum, a hero whose name is mentioned in the legends of many Tai
peoples. The ultimate origin of Pha Mueang is described by his
grandfather in the so-called "Inscription II": he is the ruler
of a city-state called Mueang Rat. Mueang Rat's location is
disputed. Many believe it to be found in the Pasak Valley.
Therefore, the residents of the Phetchabun Lom Sak neighborhood
built a large statue of Pha Mueang. Historian Alexander Brown
Griswold, however, is of the opinion that Mueang Rat must have
been located in the Nan River Valley near Uttaradit due to
geographic features. |
