The poeng mang, (Thai: เปิงมาง), known as poeng mang khok (เปิงมางคอก) when used as a set, is a traditional Thai drum of Mon origin and in Myanmar called Pat waing, played by Mon people . It is a percussion instrument, used to furnish the rhythms of music. They are set of leather faced drums which plays an important role in the piphat Mon ensemble. They are played to teasingly interrupt the rhythms with the Taphon mon adding a joyful mood to the music.
If used singly the drum is played on two hands only.
