Maha Thammaracha (Thai: มหาธรรมราชา, pronounced [mā.hǎː tʰām.mā.rāː.t͡ɕʰāː], Mahādharmarājā , Burmese: မဟာဓမ္မရာဇာ ), Maha Thammarachathirat (Thai: มหาธรรมราชาธิราช, Mahādharmarājādhirāja), or Sanphet I (Thai: สรรเพชญ์ที่ ๑), formerly known as Khun Phirenthorathep[1] (Old Thai: ขุนพิเรนเทพ;[2] Modern Thai: ขุนพิเรนทรเทพ), was a king of Ayutthaya Kingdom from the Sukhothai dynasty, ruling from 1569 to 1590. As a powerful Sukhothai noble, Phirenthorathep gradually rose to power. After playing many political turns, he was eventually crowned as the King of Siam.
