Burmese-Siamese War (1802-1805) was the military conflict between the Kingdom of Burma under the Konbaung dynasty and Kingdom of Siam under the Chakri dynasty over the Lanna city-states. It is composed of two parts: the Burmese Invasion of Chiangmai in 1802 and the Siamese Invasion of Chiang Saen in 1804. The Burmese King Bodawpaya attempted to reclaim the lost dominions in the Lanna east of Salween River. The Lanna, under leadership of Prince Kawila of Chiangmai with Siamese support, successfully repelled the Burmese invasion. The Siamese under King Rama I then dispatched troops, in retaliation, to attack Burmese Chiang Saen in 1805. The town of Chiang Saen surrendered and came under Siamese rule. The wars resulted in the Burmese influence being totally eliminated from Lanna, permanently.
