Ponhea Yat

Ponhea Yat (Khmer: ពញាយ៉ាត [ˌpɔɲiəˈjaːt]; 1394–1463), also known as Barom Reachea II (Khmer: បរមរាជាទី២ [ˌɓɑrɔmriəˈciə tiːpiː]; Thai: บรมราชาธิราช, RTGS: Borommarachathirat), was the last king of the Khmer Empire. He dispatched to visit China. Ponhea Yat complained to the Yongle Emperor in 1408 and 1414 of raids by the Champa King Jaya Simhavarman V. He was forced to flee Yasodharapura in 1431 as indefensible against the Siamese, resettling first in Basan (Srey Santhor), and after that it became flooded, to Chaktomuk (now part of Phnom Penh).
