The Tai Lu are a Tai-speaking group closely related to the Khon
Muang or Tai Yuan, the dominant ethnic group in Northern Thailand.
According to their own historical tradition, the ancestors of the
Tai Lu migrated from what is now northwestern Vietnam into the
southern part of Yunnan, where they founded their own kingdom in
the twelfth century. Today, the Tai Lu are the most important
population group within the so-called "Economic Quadrangle" of the
Upper Mekong, which plays an increasingly important economic and
geopolitical role.
"Chronicle of Sipsong Panna" offers the first English
translation of four different versions of the Chronicle of Moeng Lu
(also known as Sipsong Panna) based on the oldest extant
manuscripts. The volume provides a comprehensive analysis of Tai Lu
historical sources and a valuable introduction to the history and
society of the Upper Mekong region.
Foon Ming Liew-Herres is the author of "Treatises on Military
Affairs of the Ming Dynastic History." Volker Grabowsky is
professor of Thai studies at the University of Hamburg. He is
co-author with Renoo Wichasin of "Chronicles of Chiang Khaeng: A
Tai Lu Principality of the Upper Mekong."
