The Kingdom of Pong or Pong Kingdom was an ethnically Tai state that controlled several smaller states along the frontier of what is now Myanmar, China and Northeast Indian states of Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh.
It was bounded on the north by the mountain ranges that divide present-day Myanmar and Assam State, in the south by Khambat, reaching to Yunnan in the east and the Chin Hills in the west.[1] Its capital was Mogaung, known by the Shan people as Mongkawng.[2]
