History
Monghsat State (Mönghsat, where Mong is equivalent to Thai Mueang) was one of the Shan States. It was a tributary state of Kengtung State. The capital was the town of Monghsat.
Cultivation of the opium poppy is said to be on the rise in the area after the United Wa State Army decided to stop it in their territory of northern Shan state.
