But in 1956, was discovered on the grounds of Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai Historical Park today a stone inscription, "Stone inscription 45 " (also: Inscription XLV) is called. Then a list of the rulers of the Kingdom of Sukhothai is vermekt. Stands between Loe Thai and Li Thai another name - Phaya Ngua Nam Thum. For more information about this king are still not found.

The American historian A. B. Griswold suggested that Ngua Nam Thum has the throne by a coup d' état ​​appropriated. Although he was possibly a member of the royal family, but was not in the direct line of succession to. Griswold suggested further that due to the data on the " stone inscription 2" ( Inscription II) is the earliest date for his accession in 1345. Furthermore, there is in " stone inscription 4" ( Inscription IV) that Li Thai his army to " sanctified Teritorium " in 1347 - that is to Sukhothai - led, and when everything was ready, he ordered his troops to "intrude encircle to take, and tear down all the gates. " Next " killed his ax all enemies ", which probably meant the end of Ngua Nam Thum.
