The Thaton Kingdom was a Mon kingdom, believed to have existed in Lower Burma from at least the 4th century BC to the middle of the 11th century AD.  One of many

Mon Kingdoms that existed in modern-day Lower Burma and Thailand, the kingdom was essentially a city-state centered on the city of Thaton.  It traded directly with

South India and Sri Lanka, and became a primary center of Theravada Buddhism in South-East Asia.  Thaton, like other Mon kingdoms, faced the gradual encroachment

of the Khmer Empire.  But it was the Pagan Kingdom from the north that conquered the fabled kingdom in 1057.

I will attach a share free historical map of "The Khmer Empire (in red) in 900 AD".  Thaton, the capital of the kingdom is located at (16.9393, 97.3710) in the google 

location system.  I will attach some photos of it from the google map system and from the street view system.
