Yuan Phai (Thai: ยวนพ่าย, also known as Lilit Yuan Phai, ลิลิตยวนพ่าย, see below for details), "Defeat of the Yuan," is a historical epic poem in the Thai language. It tells of the rivalry between Ayutthaya and Lanna, and of the battle that ended it in 1474 or 1475 at the place then called Chiang Cheun at Si Satchanalai. The Yuan are the people of Lanna or Yonok, then an independent kingdom in the upper reaches of the Chao Phraya River basin with a capital at Chiang Mai. The poem was written to celebrate King Boromma Trailokanat of Ayutthaya (r. 1448–1488), the victor. The poem was probably written soon after the battle. It counts among only a handful of works of Thai literature from the Early Ayutthaya era that have survived, and may be still in its original form, without later revisions. The main body of the poem consists of 1,180 lines in a variant of the khlong (Thai: โคลง) meter. The poem is considered important as a source of historical information, as an example of poetic form and style, and as a repository of early Ayutthayan Thai language. A definitive edition was published by the Royal Institute of Thailand in 2001.
