| Trades with China |
| An important source of revenue from marine trading was the trade with China based on the tributary system. Commercial contacts with China had started at the beginning of King Naresuan’s reign. It was documented that in 2135 B.E. (1592 A.D.) Ayuddhaya resumed sending tributes as had been customary to a Chinese emperor after having abstained from doing that for a period of time due to wars with Burma. |
