Kenghkam or Keng Hkam (also known as Kyaingkan) was a Shan state in what is today Burma. The capital was the town of Keng Hkam, located by the Nam Pang River.[1]
Kenghkam was initially a tributary of the Konbaung dynasty. It was founded in 1811 and was located north of the sub-state of Kengtawng. The state was occupied by Mongnai State from 1870 to 1874 and again from 1878 to 1882, when it was annexed directly.[2]
The rulers of the state bore the title Myoza.[3]
