The Lavo Kingdom was a political entity (mandala) on the left bank of the Chao Phraya River in the Upper Chao Phraya valley from the end of Dvaravati civilization, in the 7th century, until 1388. The original center of Lavo civilization was Lavo (modern Lopburi),[1] but the capital shifted southward to Ayodhaya, the port city on the right side of the Ayutthaya island around the 11th century,[2] whereupon the state was incorporated into the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 14th century.[1]

Before the 9th century, Lavo, together with Si Thep and Sema [th], was the center of the mandala-style state, Dvaravati; however, due to the weather-induced migration, Si Thep and Sema lost its power, and Lavo became the only center of power in the area until it fell under Khmer hegemony during the 10th to 11th centuries.[3]
