"Kut Kai" is among few places in Myanmar that retained its original English Spelling after the military rule. The military govt replaced the English spelling of most places that inherited from the colonial era with Burmese adapted English spelling. With current Burmese-English spelling, the name would be "K
ut Khaing". We are proud to be native to a place called "Kut Kai".
==============================================
Kutkai is a town and seat of Kutkai Township, in the Shan State of eastern-central Burma. It lies along National Highway 3, approximately 77 kilometres(48 miles) to the north of Lashio. In the early 20th century, the area around Kutkai was explored by British botanists. In 1912, Stephenson documented that he had found the earthworm species Pheretima molesta of the genus Pheretima in Katkai. Shan State became a major Christian area of Burma from the mid 19th century.[4] Kutkai was an important centre for the Kachin Baptist Church and was visited by missionaries, notably Baptist Reverend George J. Geis in the 1930s and Gustaf A. Sword from 1936 to 1942. Geis died in Kutkai on October 28, 1936 whilst he was working there at the Kachin Bible Training School he had established. During World War II, Kutkai was occupied by the Japanese. On September 10, 1944, the Chinese Fourteenth Air Force sent out 45 B-25 Mitchells to bomb Kutkai along with the towns of Tunganhsien, Lingling and Tunghsiangchiao.but the town was abandoned without a fight when the Chinese reached it on February 19, 1945. In July 1954, Hoo Kya Chin, a Kokang businessman from Mu Kwan was arrested by the immigration officials in kutkai for not carrying an identification card which caused some controversy in the region. In the 1980s, two privates and a sergeant of the Kachin Independence Army insurgent 4th Brigade surrendered at Kutkai garrison.
