Sri Naw Nam Thum (Thai: ศรีนาวนำถุม) was a Tai monarch attested in the Wat Si Chum Inscription as the ruler of Mueang Chaliang–Sukhothai during the late 12th to early 13th century.[1]: 115 [2]: 17 His precise origin remains a subject of scholarly debate; however, he is generally regarded as a noble of Mueang Chaliang who consolidated political and military power through his son, Pha Mueang, ruler of Mueang Rat (เมืองราด), who was married to Sukhara Mahadevi, a princess under the suzerainty of the Angkorian monarch Jayavarman VII.[3] Sri Naw Nam Thum is believed to have succeeded the weakened ruler Rajadhiraj II of the Mon Haripuñjaya dynasty, likely at the beginning of the 13th century.
In 1219[4]—though certain sources suggest as early as the late 1170s[5]—Sri Naw Nam Thum, together with his son Pha Mueang, launched a southern campaign and successfully seized Sukhothai, overthrowing the preceding Mon ruler, E Daeng Phloeng.[4][5] Following this conquest, Sri Naw Nam Thum governed as a dual monarch over both Sukhothai and Chaliang.[1]: 115 [2]: 17 His reign, however, was short-lived; he was subsequently deposed by an usurper, Khom Samat Klon Lamphong, who is thought to have originated from Lavo, a polity that had come under the dominion of the Angkorian Mahidharapura dynasty around the 1180s.[6] This dynasty is recorded to have captured Xiū Luó Fēn of the Xiān in the Phraek Si Racha region, located south of Sukhothai, and re-established it as Chen Li Fu during the same period.[7]
After the deposition of his father, Pha Mueang allied with Bang Klang Hao and later recaptured the territories in 1238. Bang Klang Hao subsequently ascended the throne as ruler of Sukhothai–Chaliang under the regnal title Si Inthrathit.[8]: 195–196 Si Inthrathit married Nang Sueang, a daughter of Sri Naw Nam Thum.[9]
