After the Fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, Thalang came under the regime of "Chao Phraya" Nakhon Nu, who established himself as the ruler of Southern Thailand based on Nakhon Si Thammarat. King Taksin of Thonburi defeated Chao Phraya Nakhon Nu in 1769 and shortly after "Phra" Phimol, husband of Lady Chan, was made the governor of Thalang. Thongphun, a cousin of Lady Chan (who was the son of Chom Thau) was made the vice-governor of Thalang.
