In 1509 occurred the last engagement between Malayan and Siamese Forces. The Maharajah of Ligor (present Nakhon Sri Thammarat), Dewa Susa, was
ordered by the King of Siam to attack Pahang. Sultan Mahumed of Malacca sent assistance to Pahang and in a few days his men finished a large fort.
The Rajah of Ligor attacked - apparently in a rather nonchalant way - and his army was decimated and completely dispersed. Dewa Susa fled to the
uplands of Pahang, and proceeded straight by land to Callantan, from where he returned to Ligor.

Malacca, he sent an envoy to Ayutthaya with a letter addressed to the King of Siam. Duarte Fernandez, a tailor with knowledge of the Malay language,
was designated and took advantage of the presence of some Chinese junks heading for Ayutthaya. They passed through the Straits of Singapore, and
sailed northwards along the coast of Patani to the City of Cuy, and then to Ayutthaya. He was received with great honor in Ayutthaya and returned

The Portuguese in Malacca sent in 1516 a third envoy, named Duarte de Coelho [Duarte Coelho Pereira (c. 1485-1554)], to Ayutthaya and concluded a
fresh treaty with Siam. They promised to supply the Thais with guns and ammunition. The Siamese agreed to guarantee religious freedom as well as to
facilitate the efforts of the Portuguese in establishing settlements and engaging in trade. The King permitted de Coelho to erect a wooden crucifix in a
prominent place in Ayutthaya. The final result of these treaties was that the Portuguese were permitted to reside and carry on trade at Ayutthaya,
Tenasserim, Mergui, Pattani and Nakhon Sri Thammarat. As many as 300 Portuguese nationals subsequently settled down in Ayutthaya: some traders and
some military experts. The Portuguese expressed their desire that Siamese be sent to settle down in Malacca in place of the Arab traders who had left the
city following the Portuguese conquest. Portugal appointed a trade representative in Nakhon Si Thammarat and Pattani to conduct trade in rice, tin, ivory,
gum benjamin, indigo, sticklac and sappan wood.

Shwe Thi occupied the town of Chiang Kran (now called Gyaing in Moulmein district), which was subjected to Siam. King Chairacha attacked the
Burmese and drove them out of his dominions. In this military expedition he was assisted by his Portuguese mercenaries (Ref: The Travels, Voyages and
Adventures of Ferdinand Mendez Pinto), which did such a good service that they were rewarded with commercial and residential privileges.

Wiang Khuk was noted as the site of a major battle between the Lan Chang armies of King Phothisarat (reign 1520–1547) and the armies of Ayutthaya in
1540. It appears to have borne the brunt of the forward defence of Vientiane during that war, during which it was probably sacked.

The second Khlong Lat (short cut) on the Chao Phraya River was dug in 1542 and was responsible for the creation of Bangkok and Thonburi. (There is
disagreement about the exact date of its construction, with Gerini stating it was dug in 1538 and Nid Hinshiranan, a modern city planner, contending that
it was dug in 1542). The 2 Km long Khlong Lat Bangkok was dug from the site of the present-day Bangkok Noi Railway Station to a point just south of
Wat Arun. River action widened it to become the main channel of the river, transforming the former loop into four canals - Bangkok Noi, Bang Ramat,
Taling Chan, and Bangkok Yai - and reducing a journey of 14 kilometers to 2.

In 1545 King Chairacha was called upon by a Northern Shan Prince to intervene in the Chiang Mai affairs. King Müang Kesa (Ket Chettharat) of Chiang
Mai became insane and was murdered. The conspirator, one Saen Dao, offered the throne to the Prince of Kengtung, who refused and to Prince Mekuti
of Muang Nai. The Prince of Hsenwi sent an army to invade Chiengmai for the purpose of punishing Saen Dao for the murder of the King of Chiang Mai.
Failing to take the town Mün Hoa Khien, the Hsenwi General, established himself at Lamphun, and dispatched messengers to ask for the aid of King
Chairacha. King Chairacha at once set out for Chiang Mai. The Governor of Phitsanulok formed the vanguard. The army encamped at Kamphaeng Phet,
Chiang Thong, and finally moved to Chiang Mai. During that time, nobles opposed to Saen Dao, requested the aid of the King of Luang Prabang; came
down from Chieng Saen and succeeded in taking the city of Chieng Mai. They executed Saen Dao and his adherents and set up Princess Chiraprapha, as
Regent of Chiang Mai pending the arrival of Prince Settha from Luang Prabang. King Chairacha arrived at Chiengmai in June 1545, only to find his prime
objective, the removal of Saen Dao, already fulfilled. The Princess Regent of Chiang Mai received the Siamese King in a friendly manner and the latter
spent some time at Chiang Mai. He returned with his army to Ayutthaya in September.

Prince Mekuti of Muang Nai with support of the Prince of Yawnghwe (Southern Shan State), invaded Chiang Mai territory, but their armies were driven
out by the Princess Regent Chiraprapha. A Luang Prabang force arrived in Chiang Mai to assist Prince Settha, the oldest son of the King of Luang
Prabang to be set on the throne of Lan Na Thai. King Chairacha set out with an army for Chiang Mai, likely being called in for assistance by the Chiang
Mai Regent against Prince Mekuti. The vanguard came again from Phitsanulok and the armies gathered at Kamphaeng Phet. From there they proceeded to
Chiang Mai via Lamphun. The Siamese vanguard attacked Lamphun and burnt down a great part of the city. King Chairacha arrived with his army, and
they advanced on Chieng Mai. The city was attacked during three days but could not be captured. King Chairacha decided, after destroying some temples
and a large number of houses near Chiang Mai, to retreat. The Laotians pursued the Siamese army and defeated it at Wat Chiengkrung (presently in
Saraphi district). The Siamese retreat continued through Müang Li. The Prince of Nan, Yi Mangkala, assisted by troops of Chiang Mai and Nakhon
Lamphang, attacked the retreating Siamese. The Governors of Kamphaeng Phet and Phichai were killed in this battle. The Siamese were again ambushed
farther south, near the Phun Sam Mün river and once more routed, this time with the loss of three Generals, 10,000 men, and 3,000 boats. After these
serious heavy losses, King Chairacha returned to Ayutthaya.

The King of Siam sent Thamein Kanburi (Phraya Kanchanaburi) and Thamein Dawtaka (Phraya Tak?) with 200 elephants, 1000 horses and 60,000 men
to capture Tavoy. On the arrival of the Siamese troops, the local governor showed little resistance and fled to Ye. Mintara Shweti (Tabin Shweti), King of
Hanthawaddy sent 40,000 men by water with a flotilla of 100 big and 300 small sailing vessels, and 200 elephants, 2,000 horse and 80,000 men by land
to expel the Siamese from Tavoy. The expedition was a success and the Burmese followed the Siamese forces well into Siamese territory. This Siamese
attack was one of the triggers of the first siege of Ayutthaya in 1548.

King Chairacha died from a sudden illness in 1547, probably poisened by one of his four non-royal consorts, Thao Sri Sudachan. Although not
customary, his son, Prince Yot Fa, eleven years old, and also son of Thao Sri Sudachan, ascended the throne of Ayutthaya; being the 14th King of
Ayutthaya. After the cremation of King Chairacha, Prince Thianracha, who was a younger half-brother and of the same royal lineage as King Chairacha,
sensing the danger of being made away as conduct of affairs was in the hands of the King's mother, ordained as a monk at Rachapraditsathan Monastery.

The Princess Regent Thao Sri Sudachan fell in love with the guard of the Phiman Rataya Hall named Phan But Sri Thep. She managed to appoint him first
as Khun Chinnarat and later as Khun Worawongsa, entrusting him with the duty of enlisting the troops as certain disturbances occurred in the northern
provinces of the Kingdom and enabling him to designate troops and officers favorable to him. Phraya Maha Sena (Minister of Defense) who sensed the
intrigue, was made away with, as many others who could oppose Worawongsa's rise. As a result of the intrigue, the Princess Regent was pregnant and
gave birth to a daughter. Having cleared her Council of all opponents, the Princess Regent obtained the consent to appoint Khun Worawongsa as Regent
so that he could administer the affairs of the kingdom during the minority of King Yot Fa. All the governors of the seven northern provinces were recalled
and replaced by loyals to the new Regent. Early November 1548 King Yot Fa died at the age of thirteen year. The exact cause of his death is not known.
Following the Luang Prasoet Chronicle he got an accident. The later written Royal chronicles of Ayutthaya state that the was executed at the Khok
Phraya Monastery. The contemporary Portuguese traveler Pinto although, wrote the young king was poisoned.

Khun Phirenthorathep, a descendant from the House of Sukhothai, did not agree with the usurpation of the throne by King Worawongsa. Phiren held a
secret meeting with some trustees being Khun Inthorathep, Mun Ratchasena, and Luang Si Yot and decided to put Prince Thianracha on the throne. They
consulted an oracle at the recitation hall of Pa Kaeo Monastery (present Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon), which turned out in the favor of Thianracha, ordained
at the Rachapraditdsathan Monastery. Early January, 1549, Worawongsa announced his intention of proceeding by boat to the Elephant Kraal on 13
January to see a very large elephant caught. Phiren initiated the Governors of Sawankhalok and Phijai into his plan. The Royal barge of Khun
Worawongsa and Queen Sri Sudachan was intercepted in a narrow creek of the Ban Pla Mo Canal, leading to the kraal. The usurper King and his Queen
were dragged ashore and beheaded, together with their infant daughter. Their bodies were impaled in the vicinity of the ambush, at Wat Raeng. Mün
Rachasenha shot the pseudo-Uparat, Nai Chan, near the Sua Landing (Tha Sua) when he was riding to the kraal on an elephant. The little Prince Sri Sin,
son of King Chairacha, who had accompanied his mother, was given into the keeping of Prince Thianracha.

Phiren and his men, after killing the usurper King Worawongsa, re-entered the City of Ayutthaya in order to secure the Royal Palace. Prince Thienracha
was invited to leave the monk hood and was brought forth in procession from the Rachapraditsathan monastery towards the Royal Palace, by the Chai
Suphannahong Royal barge and a vast flotilla. He was crowned as King of Siam on 19 January 1549 (1) with the title of Maha Chakkraphat. King
Chakkraphat adopted the same day Prince Si Sin, son of Chairacha King (r. 1534-1547). The King's first act on attaining the throne was to shower
unprecedented honours and rewards on those who had brought him in position. Phiren was conferred the title of Somdet Maha Thammaracha, given the
right to issue royal commands and put in the position of Governor of Phitsanulok. King Chakkraphat bestowed the hand of his eldest daughter, Princess
Sawatdirat (2), in marriage to Phiren and gave her the royal title of Princess Wisut Kasattri (3). Inthorathep was made Chao Phraya Si Thammasokkarat
and put in the position of Governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat; Luang Si Yot was made Chao Phraya Maha Senabodi, while Mun Ratchasaneha was made
