Monghsu or Maingshu was a Shan state in what is today Burma. It belonged to the Eastern Division of the Southern Shan States. The main river in the area was the Nam Pang.[1]

History

Monghsu became independent from Hsenwi in 1857 under a personal union with the neighbouring state of Mongsang. It was a tributary of Burma until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty. The residence of the Myoza was at Mong Hsu.[2]
