Sao Kawng Kiao Intaleng succeeded his brother as ruler (Sawbwa) of the Shan state of Kengtung in 1895. He, his first wife, and and his sister, Princess Tip Htila, all attended the Delhi Durbar in 1903 in a party of Shan princes guided by J. G. Scott. After this journey he built a new palace at his capital, Kengtung, in Imperial Indian style. He was a popular and capable ruler, and abolished domestic slavery in the state.

The politician and scholar Sao Sāimöng was a son of Kawng Kiao Intaleng.
