Mong Hsat is a town in the eastern part of Shan State, in the far east of Myanmar, in the hilly borderlands near Thailand and Laos, in the region historically known as part of the Golden Triangle. It lies in a remote upland area of hills, forests and valleys, a local market and administrative centre for the surrounding countryside, home to Shan and various hill peoples with their own cultures. Because conditions in parts of Myanmar, including Shan State, can be unsettled, travelers should check their government's current advice carefully before considering any trip, as travel here may be restricted or unsafe. Mong Hsat is reached by a local airport, on domestic flights, and by mountain roads, though access can be limited. The climate is warm, with a cooler upland feel, a rainy monsoon season and a drier season.
