Chin Lin

Chin Lin or Kim Lin (; ; ) was an ancient political entities in modern lower central Thailand exited from the 9 CE to the 3rd century.

In the 3rd century CE, after defeating Tun Sun to control the trans-Kra Isthmus trade route and encircle Chin Lin, king Fan Man of Funan attempted to seize Chin Lin, but failed due to his illness.

The city "''Balangka'', an inland town" (), mentioned in the ''Geographike Hyphegesis'' of Ptolemy in the 2nd century, has been assumed by Thai scholars to have been Mueang Uthong, the center of Chin Lin. However, some identified Balangka with the ancient Nakhon Pathom. Provided by Wikipedia
