Thray Thinkhaya (Burmese: သရေ သင်္ခယာ, pronounced [θəɹè θɪ̀ɰ̃kʰəjà]) was governor of Pinle from 1386 to 1427. He also served as a Royal Ava Army commander, and participated in the Ava–Hanthawaddy War (1385–1391)[1] and the Ava–Hanthawaddy War (1422–1423).[2] His governorship ended in late 1427 when the army of Prince Minye Kyawhtin captured the fortified town.[3][4]
The following is a list of campaigns the governor participated in according to the royal chronicles.
