Preah Ram I (1544–May 1596), also known as Reamea Chung Prey,[1] was the Cambodian king ruled from 1594 to 1596.[1]
In 1594, Cambodia was attacked by Siamese, Chey Chettha I and Satha I fled the capital. Preah Ram I seized the throne during the absence of the king. In May 1596, he was killed at Sri Sundhara by the Portuguese and Spanish troops of Diogo Veloso and Blas Ruiz.[citation needed]
