Mong Hsat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mong Hsat is a town in the Shan State of Myanmar, served by Monghsat Airport. (Mong is equivalent to Thai Mueang.) 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.[1]
