Phalangon (Burmese: ဖလံဂုဏ်ရွာ) is a village in Ye-U Township, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. The village is the home to the chief queen Nanmadaw Me Nu and founded by her great-grand father Bala Thaman who was posted to the Phalangon village fort during the reign of King Mahadhammaraza Dipadi of Nyaungyan dynasty to guard against the danger of Manipurs.[1]
