Talk:Lan Na

message: in the article, it said:
: Lanna (English One Million Thai Rice Fields, )

* Lan ล้าน = million
* Na นา = field (most of the time, rice field)

thread_title:  English meaning of "Lanna" 

message: What basis is there for calling what is now the Thai Province of Nan the capital of the Thai lue? I think Chiang Rung (Jinghong in China) was the capital of the Thai lue people. Many Thai lue people were resettled in Nan in the nineteenth century by the Nan king, but the capital of the Thai lue was not in Nan. At least that's what I think

thread_title:  why no mention Hariphunchai kingdom? hariphunchai play big part in lanna culture 

message: The last intro paragraph that begins with "Throughout the latter half of the 1800s, the Siamese state dismantled Lan Na independence..." seems to be unnecessary due to the cut off date of the kingdom given in the infobox. I suggest either fixing the date, putting that paragraph in a subsection, or moving it to another article (like the Kingdom of Chiang Mai).

thread_title:  Unnecessary paragraph? Or conflict of dates? 

message: Why do you think the article need  when there is Northern Thai script in literally the "first" sentence of the article:
The Lan Na or Lan Na Kingdom (Northern Thai: ᩋᩣᨱᩣᨧᩢᨠ᩠ᨠ᩼ᩃ᩶ᩣ᩠ᨶᨶᩣ, pronounced [ʔaː.naː.tɕǎk.láːn.naː], "Kingdom of a Million Rice Fields" ... ? --Horus (talk) 14:05, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, but these names have Chinese characters, are they not? Do you think some ancient kingdoms in other parts of the world also need this template? --Horus (talk) 17:28, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I don't see the difference between Lan Na and the Kingdom of Chiang Mai. To me, Lan Na ended with the last king of Chiang Mai in 1939. I know that in Thai, kingdom historically means a city and it's vassals but in English there's certainly a hard line between what is a city and what is a kingdom or nation.
