Nam Pang River

The Nam Pang River is a major river of Shan State, eastern Burma. The largest tributary of the Salween River,^[1][2] it has its source in the hills somewhere northeast of Pangkyehtu. It joins the Salween at the village of Ta-hsopteng in Langhko District at 19°51′47″N 97°45′4″E / 19.86306°N 97.75111°E / 19.86306; 97.75111. A few miles beyond the confluence is said to be "a strange whirlpool, at the place the river is in a gorge between limestone cliffs, which fall smooth and precipitous to the water's edge."^[3]
