Sculpture on Wat Ratchaburana photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow When King Nakharintharathirat died in 1424, a power struggle took place between his three sons. The two elder brothers, Chao Aye Phraya of Suphanburi and Chao Yi Phraya of Sanburi, met each other for a duel on elephant back, both desiring their father's throne. The fight took place near the Pa-Than Bridge in Ayutthaya, and tragically ended with the death of both brothers.
