After the death of Borommatrailokanat in 1488 to let Borommaracha III. as Intharacha II ( Thai: พระ อินทรา ชา ) crowned king of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. He held until his death in 1491 this office.

The chronicler Jeremias Van Vliet, merchant of the VOC, who lived in Ayutthaya from 1633 to 1642, describes the king as follows:

" This king was so gracious as his father in any way, because he was not a fighter and not studious by nature. He had to do with the spiritual life a little, but gave in to the pleasure. He found great pleasure in hunting and in combat on elephant - back. He often traveled in his kingdom around much to the chagrin of his tangerine. For whenever the king left his palace, they had to accompany him with great pomp. Therefore the king was secretly hated by the court, while the common man worshiped him. The king fortified many cities, restored some ruins, and renovated and enlarged his palace at many places. His reign was not a wealthy but one loaded with issues of time. "
