Summary of Funan Kingdom.
Kingdom of Funan (Chinese扶南pinyinFúnánVietnamesePhù NamKhmer នគរភ្នំ Nokor Phnom), was the Chinese name of an ancient kingdom located around the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam and in southern Indochina. The name is found in Chinese historical texts describing the kingdom, and the most extensive descriptions are largely based on the report of two Chinese diplomats representing the Wu Kingdom of Nanking who sojourned in Funan in the mid-3rd century A.D.; however, the name Funan is not found in any texts of local origin, and it is not known what name the people of Funan gave to their country.

Dvaravati king (6th-11th AD.)
With the decline of the Funan Kingdom (1th-6th AD.), several kingdoms declared their freedom and independence. They alternated at being the dominant power in the area. Including,the regions around the central Chao Phya River basin such as Nakhon Pathom, Rajburi, Supanburi etc. They had become the important cities and formed themselves into the consolidated kingdom known as the Kingdom of Dvaravati in the 6th century AD. They also alternated at being the dominant power in the area and continued to follow the religious beliefs and administrative systems that had been adopted from India, and meantime, were influenced by Khmer cultures and beliefs. The Dvaravati Kingdom produced many types of coins as a medium in trade. They revealed, through the designs on the coins, symbols of monarchy and the power of the state, the beliefs of Buddhism and the Bhramin religion.
