History

Historically Mong Yai was the capital of South Hsenwi state. Sao Hso Holm, ex-saopha of Mongyai was one of the founders of Shan Nationalities League for Democracy in October 1988. Khun Sa was born in Loi Maw of Mongyai Township at 17 February 1934.

There were several skirmishes between Myanmar Army and Shan State Army in Mongyai during 2011. On 12 July 2024, the Shan State Progress Party took control of the town after the military ceded it to prevent fighting spilling over from Operation 1027.
