The Decline and Fall Age of Lanna Kingdom was in 2068-2101 B.E.. There were many main issues of decline; at that time, there was a four years period which no king reigned the kingdom because of nobility’s conflict, king’s assassination, and king’s dethronement. Furthermore, another issue was the structure of Lanna Kingdom, many towns were settled down in valleys which were easily isolated independently.

From the previous, the kings of Lanna tried to build up relatives-relationships by marriages of Lanna’s princes or princesses with the colonial cities’ for stronger and stable kingdom. Later, when the kingdom grew larger with more expanding of territory, the kingdom itself needed more efficient bureaucracy than relatives system. The Lanna Kingdom failed to change the system which leaded to be declined and defeated easily against more powerful growing neighbor, Burma (Myanmar).
