Möng Nai

Möng Nai was a Shan state ruled from the town of Möng Nai. Its origins were disputed: Shan histories said its rulers were tributaries of Möng Mao, while northern Thai chronicles said a son of Mangrai founded it in 1318 and made it subordinate to Lan Na.

In the sixteenth century its saopha joined Möng Yang and Hsipaw against Toungoo until Bayinnaung overran the Shan country in 1556 and 1557. In later centuries Möng Nai controlled Kengtawng and Kenghkam, and its rulers used the Burmese title myoza.
