History
Mon has an interesting history and there are many local tourist spots. This is an unspoiled destination. Mon is the hometown of the famous Konyak Nagas, and they are called "the violent headhunters with tattoos on their faces". History shows that most of the inhabitants of the Mon ethnic group come from Lower Burma. The Kingdom of Meng was established in 573 by the two Meng brothers, Prince Samara and Prince Wimara, and this land was named “Meng” from this. For centuries, this kingdom prospered peacefully before the Burmese dynasty. The people of Meng are very talented and skilled. Later, it was occupied by Burma. The Mon people were oppressed, persecuted, and massacred. Many pregnant women were killed. They fled south to the Daneserin Province of Myanmar and east to Thailand.
