Langhkö, Langkho, Langkhoi, or Linkai[1] is a town and seat of Langkho Township and Langkho District, in the Shan State of eastern Burma. It is located east of Wān Long.[2][3] It is served by Langhko Airport and is accessed along the National Road 45. A bridge in the vicinity crossing the Nam Pang River the town lies on is called Nam Kok Bridge.[4]
History [link]
A deep channel in the area is called the Nam Teng and existed at least before 1906.[5]
In 1940, Reverend S.W. Short and his wife set up a mission at Langhko and returned to visit it after World War II.[6] Historically Langhko was very corrupt, occupied in the opium trade.[1] In 1952 the town was known to be involved in tobacco production and contained a pipe making factory.[7]The Burmese Army occupied Langkho and burned nearby villages and dispersed families to cut off aid to the Shan rebels.[8]
