A son of Ramesuan and member of the House of Uthong, he succeeded his father to the throne of Ayutthaya in 1393. He reigned until 1395 when he was deposed in a coup by Inracha, his uncle from the House of Suphannaphum.[1][2] This coup marked the end of Lawo-Ayothaya clan and the rise of Suphannaphum clan, which would rule over Ayutthaya for almost two hundred years.[3]
Historical sources vary in relation to the fate of the dethroned monarch. Some say he was banished. Some say he was executed.[4]
