Around 1240s, Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao, a local Tai ruler, rallied the people to rebel against the Khmer. He later crowned himself the first king of Sukhothai Kingdom in 1238. Mainstream Thai historians count Sukhothai as the first kingdom of Thai people.
Sukhothai was the first capital city of Thailand, dating back to 1238 A.D. It reigned until 1365, when it was replaced by Ayutthaya as the capital city of the kingdom.
