Ko Cheng, or La Khai, was a king of Champa from 1390 - 1400. This general of Che Bong Nga's led the retreat back to Champa in 1390, following the death of Che Bong Nga by a musketry salvo. Back in Champa, he declared himself king, usurping the two sons of Che Bong Nga, Che Ma-no Da-nan and Che San-no.[1]

During his reign, he abandoned most of the territory won by his predecessor, Che Bong Nga.[2] [3]
