  • When I lived there it was thick jungle - I was a child but remember the tiger pug marks not far from our home. Prior to 1953 - I also remember the devastating fire that burnt most of the town and was probably started by a spark from the railway engine
  • Yes I remember too. I was born in Mohnyin in 1950. I have a vague memory of the fire. I went to State High School and completed High School Final ( Ko Dan i.e. 9th grade) in 1966. My family left Burma in 1966 and I have never been back since. I am interested more about Mohnyin.
