In 1811, Fay Na died, and what occurred next is subject to some confusion. According to some sources, Chao Numuong (one of the sons of King Sayakoummane) was appointed king by a Commissioner of the King of Siam; Chao Numuong died after a mere three days on the throne.<ref name=":0" /> Chao Numuong's son, Chao Nou, was then appointed king, and died after three days.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Baird |first=Ian G. |date=2009 |title=From Champasak to Cambodia: Ya Chao Tham (Chao Thammatheva), a Wily and Influential Ethnic Lao Leader |journal=Aséanie |volume=23 |pages=31–62 |doi=10.3406/asean.2009.2081 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313580761}}</ref> The similarity of these tales, and conflicts between annals, leads some to believe that the father and son may have been confused or conflated with one another.<ref name=":0" /> In any case, following these very brief reigns, the throne was vacant until 1813.<ref name=":0" />
