Mong Pan

Mong Pan (Shan: ဝဵင်းမိူင်းပၼ်ႇ) is a town and seat of Mong Pan Township in the southern Shan State of Burma.

[1] To the south it borders Mae Hong Son Province in Thailand and lies west of the Salween River.

The name "Mong Pan" means "town of the revolving [lotus]" in Shan, and is transliterated into Burmese as Maingpan, also spelt Mine Pan.

In 1888 there was trouble owing to the action of Siam, who attempted to take possession of them.

Siam also claimed a further district, Möng Hsat, but posted no troops there.
