[edit] English meaning of "Lanna"

in the article, it said:

Lanna (English One Million Thai Rice Fields, Thai: ล้านนา)

can it be just "One Million Rice Fields" ??

  • Lan ล้าน = million
  • Na นา = field (most of the time, rice field)

[edit] Nan as capital of the Thai lue?

What basis is there for calling what is now the Thai Province of Nan the capital of the Thai lue? I think Chiang Rung (Jinghong in China) was the capital of the Thai lue people. Many Thai lue people were resettled in Nan in the nineteenth century by the Nan king, but the capital of the Thai lue was not in Nan. At least that's what I think
