Athittayawong[1] (Thai: อาทิตยวงศ์, Ādityavaṅśa; born 1618) was the shortest-reigning monarch of Ayutthaya, only for 36 days in 1629 and the last king of the Sukhothai dynasty.[2]: 55
Prince Athitayawong was the son of King Songtham and his principal wife. His elder brother, King Chetthathirat and his mother were executed in 1629 after Okya Siworawong (Thai: ออกญาศรีวรวงศ์) or Phraya Siworawong staged a coup.
