Yot Chiang Rai
Phraya Yot Chiang Rai (Yotchiangrai, also Yot Mueang) was king of the Kingdom of Lan Na in what is now northern Thailand between 1487 and 1495 .
Yot Chiang Rai was a son of Thao (Prince) Bunrueang, the only son of King Tilokarat . He arranged for the cremation of his grandfather in Wat Maha Potharam , Chiang Mai , the capital of Lan Na. He then had a large stupa built to contain the ashes of Tilocarat.
In 1492 Yot Chiang Rai had Wat Tapo Tharam built and in 1495 passed the rule to his son Phraya Kaeo , probably at the urging of the nobility, who were dissatisfied with his rule.
