Titles and naming conventions
{{further|Thai royal ranks and titles}}
In the Sukhothai Kingdom, the monarch used the title Pho Khun ({{langx|th|พ่อขุน}}), and monarchs who reigned over the period of decline after Ram Khamhaeng the Great used the title Phraya ({{langx|th|พญา}}).
In the Ayutthaya Kingdom and afterward, thanandon, the system of Thai royal titles, determines the style of the monarch's full regnal name (which includes the title), consisting of two interconnected parts:
- The first part is the title Phra Bat Somdet Phra Chao Yu Hua ({{langx|th|พระบาทสมเด็จพระเจ้าอยู่หัว}}, 'His Majesty the King'). The title is split by the regnal name, written between Phra and Chao. If the monarch was not formally crowned, Phra Bat is omitted. If the monarch ruled as a tributary or was usurped, Somdet may be omitted.
- Sometimes, Chao Yu Hua is fully omitted. Other times, only Yu Hua is omitted, in which case Chao follows the remaining components of the title and precedes the regnal name.
- The second part is the regnal name, of which only a portion may be used to commonly refer to the monarch. It may differ from their birth name, their name as uparaja (viceroy), or their posthumous name and/or historical style. This list refers to monarchs by the names most often used by traditional historians.{{Cite journal |last=Jones |first=Robert B. |date=June 1971 |title=Thai titles and ranks; including a translation of Traditions of royal lineage in Siam by King Chulalongkorn |url=https://hdl.handle.net/1813/57549 |journal=Southeast Asia Program Data Papers Series |hdl=1813/57549 |via=Cornell University}}
Western nations referred to the monarch as the "King of Siam" ({{langx|la|Rex Siamensium}}), regardless of Thai titles, since the initiation of relations in the 16th century. Mongkut (Rama IV) was the first monarch to adopt the title when the name Siam was first used in an international treaty.{{cite web|title="สยาม" ถูกใช้เรียกชื่อประเทศเป็นทางการสมัยรัชกาลที่ 4|url=https://www.silpa-mag.com/club/art-and-culture/article_10496|publisher=ศิลปวัฒนธรรม|date=6 July 2017|access-date=10 August 2017|language=th}} When the kingdom's name was changed to Thailand, the monarch's Western title changed accordingly.{{Cite web |title=Siam definition and meaning |url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/siam |access-date=11 January 2020 |website=Collins English Dictionary}}

=Phra Ruang dynasty (1238–1438)=
The Phra Ruang dynasty was the only royal lineage that ruled over the Sukhothai Kingdom, the first Central Thai state. Established by Si Inthrathit in 1238, who declared independence from the Khmer Empire, the dynasty laid the foundations for Thai society.{{cite journal

The dynasty is named after the Traiphum Phra Ruang, a Buddhist cosmology book written by Maha Thammaracha I. During his reign, the kingdom was invaded by Ayutthaya, a neighboring Thai state, becoming a tributary during the reign of Maha Thammaracha II.{{rp|222}}
In the Sukhothai Kingdom, the monarch ruled from the city of Sukhothai, while the heir presumptive would occasionally be named uparaja, or viceroy, and ruled in Si Satchanalai. In 1438, Ayutthaya annexed Sukhothai at the death of Maha Thammaracha IV when Borommarachathirat II of Ayutthaya named his son Prince Ramesuan uparaja. In Ayutthaya, the tradition would evolve into the Front Palace system.{{Cite book |author=David K. Wyatt |title=Thailand: A Short History |publisher=Silkworm Books |year=2004 |edition=2nd |page=59}}

Ayutthaya Kingdom (1351–1767)
{{further|Ayutthaya Kingdom}}
File:Administrative Division of Ayutthaya Kingdom in 1468.jpg
The Ayutthaya Kingdom was a result of a unification between two states: the Kingdom of Suphannaphum (Suphanburi) and the Kingdom of Lavo. Though the Kingdom of Lavo was originally a Mon kingdom, the migration of the Tai peoples into the Chao Phraya basin replaced the original Mons, consequently becoming the governors of these regions. This resulted in the capital moving from Lavapura (Lopburi) and Suphannaphum (Suphanburi) to Ayodhya (Old Ayutthaya), a new capital.{{Cite web |title=History of Ayutthaya - Temples & Ruins - Wat Ayodhya |url=https://www.ayutthaya-history.com/Temples_Ruins_Ayodhya.html |access-date=2024-07-06 |website=www.ayutthaya-history.com}} Later on, the Kingdom of Nakhon si Thammarat came under the influence of Ayutthaya after seceding from Sukhothai, and Sukhothai losing influence and coming under Ayutthayan influence.
This conflict would last long into the history of Ayutthaya Kingdom, where families from the four major regional kingdoms vie over the throne of the kingdom. These kingdoms are: Kingdom of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Kingdom of Sukhothai, Kingdom of Lavo, and Kingdom of Suphannaphum. The Kingdom of Sukhothai was integrated into the Kingdom of Ayutthaya along with its noble families.{{Cite book |url=http://archive.org/details/royalchronicleso0000unse |title=The royal chronicles of Ayutthaya |date=2000 |publisher=Bangkok : The Siam Society |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-974-8298-48-1}}

As previously mentioned, the kingdom of Ayutthaya was the result of the unification between two federations: Lavo and Suphannaphum. The ruling dynasty of Lavo gave rise to the Uthong Dynasty, in which the Suphannaphum dynasty came from the Suphannaphum federation. This federation held significant influence within the kingdom leading them to take control of the throne in 1310.
