There he holds a meeting at which, in view of the dissolved state order in Ayutthaya, he is proclaimed head ( chao ) in his own right and gives feudal titles to local village heads. In June Taksin's army conquered Chanthaburi province , which became independent after the fall of Ayutthaya. As a result, he controls the entire east coast with several smaller ports and associated ships.
• October: Taksin and his army advance westward into the Burmese-occupied central Thai plain. He takes the Thonburi fortress and has the Burmese commander executed. The news of this alarms the Burmese occupation forces near Ayutthaya, whose main army has already returned to Burma.

Taksin does not have Ayutthaya rebuilt, but chooses the small fortress town Thonburi on the western bank of the Mae Nam Chao Phraya as the new capital.

society

Three brothers of the La Chaumette family hunted on May 1, 1765, during which the beast of Gévaudan escaped injured; contemporary representation

On June 19, the innkeeper and day laborer Jean Chastel killed a male predator in the forest of Teynazére in the mountains of the Margeride, the description of which remains a mystery to this day. On June 26th, a she-wolf is also killed, which apparently was on the road on June 19th with the animal that Chastel had killed. After a report was drawn up by the royal notary Maître Roch Etienne Marin, legend has it that the inadequately preserved animal is buried on the orders of the French king. Since there are no more attacks in Gévaudan afterwards , the creature is identified with the beast of Gévaudan , which has claimed around 100 victims since 1764 .

• July 25 : Prince Leopold III. Friedrich Franz von Anhalt-Dessau married in Charlottenburg on the mediation of Friedrich II. Princess Luise of Brandenburg-Schwedt from the house of Hohenzollern .
