Laos lists Sangsinxay among its legends in the 2020 heritage inventory. The British Library catalogues a related telling under the Thai title Sang Sinchai. The entries give readers different spellings to search for within the same story family. One places the tradition in a Lao inventory and the other dates a surviving Thai manuscript.
