Nemyo Thihapate occupied the ruins until June 1767; the kingdom fragmented into regional regimes before Phraya Tak's recovery.
Nemyo Thihapate occupied the ruins of Ayutthaya for two months until his departure in June 1767, leaving a small contingent under the Mon official Thugyi at Phosamton to oversee the short-lived Burmese occupation of Lower Central Siam. The rest of the kingdom fragmented into competing regional regimes. Phraya Tak, who had broken out eastward in January 1767, raised troops in Eastern Siam and reconquered the Ayutthaya-Thonburi area in November 1767.
