Queen Chamadevi is remembered as a capable and disciplined ruler who laid the foundations of Hariphunchai during the 7th–8th century. According to tradition, she came from the Mon cultural sphere of central Thailand and was invited to govern the newly established city. Her reign marked the beginning of organized statehood in the area, with systems of leadership, defense, and administration taking shape under her authority. Chronicles portray her not as a ceremonial figure, but as a hands-on leader who protected her kingdom from external threats and ensured internal stability.
