The history of Isan (Thai: อีสาน) has been determined by its geography, situated as it is on the Korat Plateau between Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. The term "Isan" originally meant "invisible power", and is derived from Isanapura, the ancient capital of the northern Chenla Kingdom, established in 613 AD near modern-day Sambor Prey Kuk near Kompong Thom in central Cambodia. The name of the capital was conferred in 628 by its ancient Khmer-speaking king Isana Varman I (616-635AD), in dedication to the Hindu god Shiva, to whom he erected a statue following his victory over the kingdom of Funan, to which the kingdom of Chenla had been vassals.
