Loi-ai (also known as Lwe-e) was a Shan state in the Myelat region of what is today Burma. It was one of the westernmost Shan states, bordering with Yamethin district of Upper Burma. The capital was Lonpo ( Aungpan) and the population was mostly Pa-O, but there were also Danu, Shan and Karen people in the area. ^[1]

Loi-ai was a subsidiary state of Yawnghwe, another state of the Myelat division of the Southern Shan States. Loi ai State merged with Hsamönghkam State in 1930. ^[2]
