Saenphu (Northern Thai: ᨻᩕ᩠ᨿᩣᩈᩯ᩠ᨶᨻᩪ; Thai: พญาแสนพู) was the 3rd monarch of Lan Na and the founder of Chiang Saen.

King of Lanna

Saenphu was originally titled "Thao Saenphu" before ascending to the throne. He was the eldest son of Chaiyasongkhram, the ruler of Chiang Rai. His father crowned him as the ruler of Chiang Mai on May 15, 1318, following the passing of Mangrai. However, upon learning of this, Khun Khreu, the ruler of Muang Nai, launched an attack and successfully seized Chiang Mai. Saenphu was forced to flee to Chiang Rai and seek refuge with his father.

In response, Chaiyasongkhram sent his second son, Thao Namthuam, to reclaim Chiang Mai. Namthuam succeeded in retaking the city, and his father then crowned him as the new ruler of Chiang Mai. However, after only two years, Namthuam was deposed by his father and exiled to Chiang Tung. Chaiyasongkhram then reinstated Saenphu as the ruler of Chiang Mai.

Upon Chaiyasongkhram’s death, Saenphu traveled to Chiang Rai to oversee his father's funeral. He then crowned his son, Thao Khamfu, as the new ruler of Chiang Mai. Afterwards, Saenphu left to establish Chiang Saen. He ruled there for seven years before passing away around 1338 or 1339.[2]
