Borommatrailokkanat (Thai: บรมไตรโลกนาถ,[1][2][3][4] pronounced [bɔ̄ː.rōm.mā.trāj.lôːk.kā.nâːt], Sanskrit: Brahmatrailokanātha) or Trailok (1431–1488) was the king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom from 1448 to 1488. He was one of many monarchs who gained the epithet King of White Elephants (Thai: พระเจ้าช้างเผือก). He was the first Thai king to possess a "noble" or white elephant, which, according to Buddhist belief, was a "glorious and happy sign".[5] His reign was also known for massive reforms of Thai bureaucracy and a successful campaign against the Lan Na Kingdom to the north. He was revered as one of the greatest monarchs of Thailand.
