Chao Kingkitsarat (Lao: ເຈົ້າກິງກິດສະຣາດ; died 1713), also known as Kitsarat or Kitsarath, was the king of Luang Phrabang (r. 1707–1713).[1]
Kingkitsarat was the only son of Prince Raxabut, who was the heir apparent of
Sipsong Panna.[1]
He returned with his cousin
Luang Phrabang. Then he marched on Vientiane to attack Setthathirath. Setthathirath turned to Ayutthaya Kingdom for assistance. Suriyenthrathibodi accepted the request, and sent a Siamese army to north and imposed a division of territory between the warring armies.[1] Kingkitsarat crowned the king in 1707, creating the Kingdom of Luang Phrabang and converting Lan Xang into the Kingdom of Vientiane
.
Kingkitsarat died in 1713, succeeded by his cousin Ong Kham.
