Modern Kra traces its origins to a cradle of civilisation in the fertile Maena river basin in the Central Kra Plain. Their long occupation, initially in varying forms of hunter-gatherers, emerged into settled life 7,000 years ago, gradually evolving into the Maena Basin Civilisation of the third millennium BCE. By 1400 BCE, an archaic form of {{wp|Sanskrit|Sombhang}}, an Ochran-Malaio language, had diffused into the Kra peninsula from the southwest. Its evidence today is found in the hymns of the {{wp|Rigveda|Samaphidthanya}}. Preserved by a resolutely vigilant oral tradition, the Samaphidthanya records the dawning of {{wp|Hinduism|Sadthaism}} in Anachak Kang.

The 1300 BCE would see the foundation of several regional cities that would turn into city-states and petty kingdoms. The semi-legendary kingdom of Lan Na, the subsequent well-attested Kingdom of Chiang Mai, and the Kingdom of Lan Xang would help develop a unique regional political system known as the Aeuad(!Mandala political system). Kra writing, Kra classic literature and the Hundred Schools of Thought emerged during this period and influenced the inhabitants of the Kra peninsula for centuries to come. The Kra petty kingdoms would remain disunited until the third century BCE when Prince Fa Ngum of Viangchan's war of unification created the first Kra empire, the short-lived Fa dynasty. The more stable Baasac dynasty (206 BCE – 220CE) followed the collapse of the Fa, which established a model for nearly two millennia in which the Kra empire was one of the world's foremost economic powers. The empire expanded, fractured and reunified, was conquered and reestablished, absorbed foreign religions and ideas, and made world-leading scientific advances, such as the Five Great Inventions: mathematics, astronomy, the compass, paper, and printing. After centuries of disunion following the fall of the Baasac, the Ngoenyang (581 – 618) and Nanthavong (618 – 907) reunified the empire. During the time of the Nanthavong, the 3rd emperor of the Nanthavong dynasty, Nanthavong Khampong, first united the Kra peninsula.

Anachak Kang, formally Anachak Kang Hom Khao (Kra: ອານາຈັກກາງຮົ່ມຂາວ, lit. 'The Middle Kingdom and the White Parasol'), is a country in Southeast Ochran, located at the centre of the Kra Peninsula, spanning 1,125,344 square kilometres (434,498 sq mi), with a population of 121,648,117. The country is bordered to the northeast by Seonko and shares maritime borders with Daobac to the south and Tsurushima (Kahei) to the east. Viangchan is the nation's capital and largest city.

Modern Kra traces its origins to a cradle of civilisation in the fertile Maena river basin in the Central Kra Plain. Their long occupation, initially in varying forms of hunter-gatherers, emerged into settled life 7,000 years ago, gradually evolving into the Maena Basin Civilisation of the third millennium BCE. By 1400 BCE, an archaic form of Sombhang, an Ochran-Malaio language, had diffused into the Kra peninsula from the southwest. Its evidence today is found in the hymns of the Samaphidthanya. Preserved by a resolutely vigilant oral tradition, the Samaphidthanya records the dawning of Sadthaism in Anachak Kang.

The 1300 BCE would see the foundation of several regional cities that would turn into city-states and petty kingdoms. The semi-legendary kingdom of Lan Na, the subsequent well-attested Kingdom of Chiang Mai, and the Kingdom of Lan Xang would help develop a unique regional political system known as the Aeuad(!Mandala political system). Kra writing, Kra classic literature and the Hundred Schools of Thought emerged during this period and influenced the inhabitants of the Kra peninsula for centuries to come. The Kra petty kingdoms would remain disunited until the third century BCE when Prince Fa Ngum of Viangchan's war of unification created the first Kra empire, the short-lived Fa dynasty. The more stable Baasac dynasty (206 BCE – 220CE) followed the collapse of the Fa, which established a model for nearly two millennia in which the Kra empire was one of the world's foremost economic powers. The empire expanded, fractured and reunified, was conquered and reestablished, absorbed foreign religions and ideas, and made world-leading scientific advances, such as the Five Great Inventions: mathematics, astronomy, the compass, paper, and printing. After centuries of disunion following the fall of the Baasac, the Ngoenyang (581 – 618) and Nanthavong (618 – 907) reunified the empire. During the time of the 3rd emperor of the Nanthavong dynasty, Nanthavong Khampong united the entirety of the Kra peninsula for the first time and introduced the first imperial examination system, creating a new civilian scholar-officials or literati class to replace the aristocratic military class of earlier dynasties. He also reintroduces old philosophical schools of thought such as Legalism* and Neo-Confucianism* to centralise power onto the monarch. However, his reform would eventually become undone after a series of weak successive monarchs, allowing the Bayarid Empire to invade and occupy the nation successfully in 932. The Bayarid invasion established Anachak Kang as a semi-autonomous vassal state and compulsory ally of the Bayarids and its successor, the Great Khan's Court-in-Taizhou*. Anachak Kang would remain under the control of the Khan's Court until the Na dynasty (1358–1674) reestablished ethnic Kra control.

The Na dynasty peaked in the 17th century, until its destruction in the XXX–Kra War. Khampheng Kamchanh quickly reunified the fragmented territory and established the short-lived Khampheng dynasty (1678–1707). She was succeeded in 1707 by Kham Paxathipatai Siharath, the first monarch of the current Kham dynasty.
