The Yonok Kingdom, also known as Singhanati, was a semi-legendary polity based along the Kok River, centered at Yonok Nakhon Chaiburi Ratchathani Si Chang Saen in present-day Chiang Saen district in northern Thailand. It can be considered one of the oldest Tai-speaking kingdom in Thailand. The area has been inhabited since the Neolithic, though no direct link has been established between those communities and the later polities. Legend places Austroasiatic-speaking peoples there before Yonok, together with the earlier legendary kingdom of Souvannakhomkham.
