The Kingdom of Hiran or the Kingdom of Ngoenyang (

Lanna.^[1]

In contrast to most contemporary Tai states, Ngoenyang was mentioned in local chronicles, which provide some information about its history.

In 545 AD, an earthquake destroyed the city of Naknakorn and thus the mueang of Singhanavati. Survivors gathered together, and an elective monarchy was established there. The mueang was named Vieng Prueksa, as prueksa means "to counsel".

After 93 years of elective monarchy, Phraya Kalavarnadishraj of the Lavo Kingdom forced the Vieng Prueksa to accept Phraya Lavachakkaraj as their king in 638 AD. Lavachakkaraj renamed the mueang Hiran.

Lavachakka is hypothesized to have been a tribal chief in the area who gained the support of the Lavo Kingdom. The Lavachakkaraj or "Lao dynasty" would go on to rule the area for 700 years.

Lu mueang Chiang Hung in the north around 1250 AD and remained within that orbit until the Mongol

invasions again shifted power in the area.

The religion of Ngoenyang kingdom was heavily influenced by the

Hariphunchai and captured the capital (modern Lamphun

).
