Population
The population of each province in 2005 is given in the census data,
[3] ranging from the largest (Savannakhet) to smallest (Sekong).
History
In 1989 Vientiane prefecture was split from Vientiane province and
the capital of Vientiane province moved from Vientiane to Muang
Phôn-Hông. In 1994 Xaisômboun khetphiset (special region) was formed
from parts of Bolikhamxai, Vientiane, and Xiangkhoang provinces. In 2006
Xaisomboun special region was dissolved and the Longsan, Xaysomboun,
Phun, and Hom districts added to Vientiane province, while Thathon
district was transferred to Xiengkhuang province.
Further divisions
The provinces are then subdivided into
districts (
muang) and villages (
baan).
Geography
The provinces are grouped geographically into 3 strata, North (from
Phongsaly to Saiyabouly, Luang Prabang and Xiengkhuang), Central
(Vientiane and Bolikhamxay) South (from Khammuane to Champasack).
