Loi Tai Leng (Burmese: လွယ်တိုင်းလျှံ) is a town located in the mountainous region of southern Shan State, Myanmar (Burma). Its southern boundary is the Myanmar-Thailand border.
The headquarters of the Shan State Army - South are located in Loi Tai Leng, and the town is mostly populated by members of the Tai Laing (Tai Leng) subdivision of the Shan people. To avoid confusion, residents use Thailand's time zone instead of Myanmar Standard Time (MMT) which is thirty minutes behind. Residents also prefer to use the Thai baht over the Burmese kyat.
