Trasak Paem

Trasak Paem is commonly considered as a lengendary ruler of the Khmer Empire who presumably died around 1340. His legend is similar to Nyaung-u Sawrahan in earlier Burmese Chronicles

He is the first Khmer sovereign mentioned by the Cambodian Royal Chronicles alone. He is the first among a series of nineteen rulers of the Khmer Empire that are presumed to have ruled Cambodia since 443 BC. This list is possibly too short to be credible. The Chronicles indicate that Trasak Paem (also named Chay) was the royal gardener of a king Jayavarman IX as known from Khmer inscriptions.
