AHC: wank the Khmer Empire

How can we wank the Khmer Empire, which existed from the 9th century AD to about the 13th century AD in the regions of OTL Cambodia, Cochinchina, and Thailand?
Preferable regions to annex would be the Irawaddy delta (southern Burma), OTL Laos, Champa, the Shan region, and most of peninsular Malaysia. If we go by the complete wank route, we could add all of Burma, Vietnam, and Yunnan.
 
Would butterflying away the defensive victory of the early Kingdom of Pagan against the Khmer be enough?

Bumping. This scenario has popped up into my mind again.
How can we butterfly away the Thai migrations? They seem like the biggest inhibitor of Khmer success to me.
Would having Genghis die early, or not invade Yunnan, be enough?
 
If the situation presented itself, who knows, maybe the Khmer could claim the Mandate of Heaven? If we're going for pie in the sky wanking, it's certainly plausible that a scenario could arise for this to happen.

That wouldn't be wanking the Khmer Empire, that would be making them part of China.

Is this eu4?

Crazier stuff's happened. If you got a civil war with lots of small factions in China, I could see an already strong Khmer state with a megalomaniac at it's head commit to all out conquest for China. Stupid? Sure. Could he pull it off? Unlikely. But I wouldn't call it impossible.
