About Inthra Phithak

Inthra Phithak was a military leader.

Chao Fa Krom Khun Inthra Phithak (?–1782), born Chui , was a prince of the Thonburi Kingdom.

He was the son of Taksin and his spouse, Princess Batboricha. He was appointed the Front Palace or Maha Uparaj, the title of the heir. He had military ability and was sent to Cambodia to fight against the Vietnamese by Taksin.

In 1780, the Cambodian regent Talaha (Mu) decided to switch allegiances to Vietnam. As a result, Taksin decided to annex Cambodia. A Thai army of 20,000 under Chao Phraya Chakri (later king Rama I) and Chao Phraya Surasi moved into Cambodia, to crown Inthraphithak the new king of Cambodia. A Vietnamese army of 3000 men led by Nguyễn Hữu Thoại and Hồ Văn Lân was also sent to help Talaha.

It was reported by Western missionaries that King Taksin became half-mad in his final years. He became more and more caprice, and imprisoned, tortured, and flogged his wife, his sons — even Inthraphithak, who was his heir-presumptive. Vietnamese sources reported that Taksin imprisoned Chakri and Surasi's families, which made them resentful. So Chakri and Surasi made friends with these two Vietnamese generals and the four generals swore to help each other when in need.

Direct descendants of Inthraphithak use two surnames, Indrayodhin (Inthrayothin) and Sinsuk.
