Singhanavati (Thai: สิงหนวัติ; RTGSSinghanawat) was a Tai semi-legendary kingdom based along the Kok River in the Chiang Rai Basin in northern Thailand,[1] existed from 691 BCE to 638 CE.[1]: 7  It was centered in Yonok Nahaphan (Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai) and then moved to Wieng–Prueksha (Fang District) after the old capital was submerged below Chiang Saen Lake due to an earthquake in 545.[2][3][4]

Singhanavati evolved into the Ngoenyang Kingdom in 638, which continued to the formation of Lan Na in 1292.
