Tha Din Daeng campaign

The Tha Din Daeng campaign (Thai: สงครามท่าดินแดง, RTGS: Songkhram Tha Din Daeng, literally "Tha Din Daeng War") was a short military campaign that took place in 1786 at Tha Din Daeng in present-day Sangkhla Buri District, Kanchanaburi Province in western Thailand. The conflict occurred during the Burmese–Siamese War (1785–1786), and was fought between the Burmese forces of King Bodawpaya of the Konbaung dynasty and Siamese forces commanded by King Rama I of the Rattanakosin Kingdom, together with his brother Maha Sura Singhanat. The campaign represented Burma's renewed attempt to invade Siam following its defeat during the Nine Armies War, but the Siamese victory at Tha Din Daeng halted the advance and secured Siam's western frontier against further incursions.
