Sukhothai Kingdom / 苏可泰王朝

The Sukhothai Kingdom / 苏可泰王朝 appears in EP267 踏访湄公河：雨季、婚飞蚁与水利帝国 as part of the discussion of [[MainlandSoutheastAsia|中南半岛]] state formation. The source connects its rise to wider regional pressure after Mongol expansion into Yunnan and the disruption of earlier southern polities such as Nanzhao and Dali.

The point is source-scoped rather than a full causal proof. In the episode, Sukhothai helps show how events north of the peninsula could push people, military groups, and political pressure southward into river-valley societies.
