From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laos is divided into 17 provinces (khoueng ) and one prefecture (kampheng nakhon ) which includes the capital city Vientiane (Nakhon Louang Viangchan ).
Provinces are further divided into districts (muang ) and then villages (ban ). An 'urban' village is essentially a town.[ 1]
