Trasak Paem is commonly considered as a ruler from legend of the Khmer Empire who presumably died around 1340.[1]

He is the first Khmer sovereign mentioned by the Cambodian Royal Chronicles alone. He is the first among a series of nineteen rulers of the Khmer Empire that are presumed to have ruled Cambodia since 443 BC. This list is possibly too short to be credible.[2] The Chronicles indicate that Trasak Paem (also named Chay) was the royal gardener of a king named Sihanouk, often identified with Jayavarman IX as known from Khmer inscriptions.
