Mahotaraprathet (Thai: พระเจ้ามโหตรประเทศ, Mahotrapradeśa) is the fifth Ruler of Chiang Mai. He is the first son of Thammalangka (2nd Ruler of Chiang Mai) and Lady Fongsamuth.

He was born on 15 January 1804 with the name Prince Mahawong (เจ้ามหาวงษ์). When he was a regent during Margrave Phutthawong, he was appointed as a general in a great troop of Chiang Mai and Lumphun to attack three cities, Saton, Tuan, and Pu. There was a report that a prince from Nyne city embedded the spies in those city to prepare against Lanna. They won the battles and got 1,368 people, 47 guns, 15 horses, 246 cows and wrote report to Rama III.

He received the noble name of Mahotaraprathet for winning that battle.[1][2][3][4]
