Vientiane Province

Vientiane (Lao ວຽງຈັນ) is a province of Laos, located in the northwest of the country.

1989 the province was split into two halves - the Vientiane prefecture containing the city Vientiane itself, and the remaining province.

Administrative divisions

The province is made up of the following districts:

# Feuang (10-06)
# Hinhurp (10-09)
# Hom (10-11)
# Kasy (10-04)
# Keo Oudom (10-03)

# Vangvieng (10-05)
# Viengkham (10-10)

The districts Hom and Xaisomboun were added from the now dissolved special zone Xaisomboun in 2004 and 2006 respectively.
