King Ekathotsarot (Template:Lang-th), also known as Sanpet III or the White Prince (in contrast to his darker skinned older brother and predecessor), was the ruler of Ayutthaya (Siam) from 1605 until his death in 1610.
He was born in Phitsanulok some time after 1556, a son of King Maha Thammaracha and Queen Visutkasattri. He was a full brother of King Naresuan the Great. During King Naresuan's reign, Ekhathotsarot served as Uparaja (vice-king), but with authority equal to the king. Following Naresuan's death in 1605, he succeeded to the throne, reigning for 5 years.
During the reign of Ekathotsarot, a Siamese embassy reached the Dutch city of The Hague, in 1608.
