波里坎塞省Bolikhamsai (also Borikhamxay, Lao: ບໍລິຄໍາໄຊ) is a province of Laos. Pakxan, Thaphabat, Pakkading, Borikhane, Viengthong, and Khamkeut are its districts and Pakxan is its capital city.
- The province faced invasions from the Siamese throughout its history. The foundation of Paksan dates from the late nineteenth century. In 1836, the Siamese assumed suzerainty over Laos.[5] After 1865, the invasions of "Hos", Chinese gangs from southern China, affected the provinces of Xieng Khouang and Bolikhamsai (Borikhane). In 1876, the King of Siam, Rama V, ordered the creation of the Muong Borikhane with the last survivors of the Ho invasion of 1874. The Muong of Borikhane was placed under the authority of Governor of Nong Khai. In the 1890s, Christian missionaries of the Missions étrangères de Paris arrived on the Mekong River, a few miles from the mouth of the Nam Sane. They built a church at Paksan. By 1911, the Muong Borikhane had about 61 villages housing a population of about 4000 inhabitants. Paksane had grown to several thousand in 1937. The modern province was formed in 1986 from parts of the Vientiane Province and Khammuan.
- *********** 北汕Pakxan (Paksan or Muang Pakxan) (Lao ປາກຊັນ) (French: Paksane) was founded in the late-19th century. The Pakxan region had experienced insecurity since the invasion by Annam in 1834, followed by invasions by the Siamese, and Siamese sovereignty over Laos in 1836, and especially after 1865 with the invasions of Haws or "red flags", gangs from southern China. These invasions began to reduce the populations of Xieng Khouang and Bolikhamsai, but it was the Siamese who completed the depopulation by deporting most of the Phou Eun inhabiting the region.In 1876, Rama V, King of Siam, ordered the creation of Bolikhamsai with the last survivors of the Haw invasion of 1874. Bolikhamsai was placed under the authority of Kha Luang Nong Khai. From 1885, the French who took over neighboring Vietnam, challenged Siamese sovereignty over Laos, and after Auguste Pavie's mission dating the Mekong to Luang Prabang, the Siamese were forced to leave the left bank of Mekong and evacuate the position they had created at the mouth of the Nam Xan River. At that time, Patchoum Muong (or Paxum) was the largest town near the confluence of the Nam Xan, but it is on the Nam Xan, a half-day by boat up the Mekong.In the course of the 1890s, missionaries of the Missions étrangères de Paris, attached to the mission of Christianity to a Bangkok-based Keng-Sadok, on the Mekong River, a few miles from the mouth of the Nam Xan. Then the missionaries occupied Pakxan, abandoned by the Siamese, and there built a church.[1] [4] In 1911, Bolikhamsai had about 61 villages with a population of about 4,000 inhabitants. In 1937, when Vientiane Province was cut in half, Pakxan alone had a population of 1,000 people and became the capital of the new province.

Louangphabang (Lao: ຫລວງພະບາງ) or Luang Phabang (pronounced [lǔaŋ pʰa.bàːŋ]), commonly transliterated into Western languages from pre 1975 Lao spelling ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ (ຣ = silent r) as Luang Prabang, literally meaning: "Royal Buddha Image", is a city[16] in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site.[17][18] It was listed in 1995 for unique and "remarkably" well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage, a blend of the rural and urban developments over several centuries, including the French colonial influences during the 19th and 20th centuries. The centre of the city consists of four main roads and is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong River. Luang Prabang is well known for its numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. One of the city's major landmarks is Mount Phou Si; a large steep hill which despite the constrained scale of the city, is 150 metres (490 ft) high; a steep staircase leads to Wat Chom Si shrine and an overlook of the city and the rivers. The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. It had also been known by the ancient name of Chiang Thong.[22] It was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos, until the Pathet Lao takeover in 1975.
- Muang Sua was the old name of Luang Prabang following its conquest in 698 CE by a Tai prince, Khun Lo. Khun Lo had been awarded the town by his father, Khun Borom, who is associated with the Lao legend of the creation of the world, which the Lao share with the Shan and other peoples of the region. Khun Lo established a dynasty whose fifteen rulers reigned over an independent Muang Sua for nearly a century. In the second half of the 8th century, Nan-chao intervened frequently in the affairs of the principalities of the middle Mekong Valley, resulting in the occupation of Muang Sua in 709. Nan-chao princes or administrators replaced the aristocracy of Tai overlords. Dates of the occupation are not known, but it probably ended well before the northward expansion of the Khmer empire under Indravarman I (r. 877–89) and extended as far as the territories of Sipsong Panna on the upper Mekong. In the meantime, the Khmers founded an outpost at Xay Fong near Vientiane, and Champa expanded again in southern Laos, maintaining its presence on the banks of the Mekong until 1070. Chanthaphanit, the local ruler of Xay Fong, moved north to Muang Sua and was accepted peacefully as ruler after the departure of the Nan-chao administrators. Chanthaphanit and his son had long reigns, during which the town became known by the Tai name Xieng Dong Xieng Thong. The dynasty eventually became involved in the squabbles of a number of principalities. Khun Chuang, a warlike ruler who may have been a Kammu (alternate spellings include Khamu and Khmu) tribesman, extended his territory as a result of the warring of these principalities and ruled from 1128 to 1170. Khun Chuang, a single family ruled over a far-flung territory and reinstituted the Siamese administrative system of the 7th century. At some point, Theravada Buddhism was subsumed by Mahayana Buddhism.[citation needed] Xieng Dong Xieng Thong experienced a brief period of Khmer suzerainty under Jayavarman VII from 1185 to 1191. By 1180 the Sipsong Panna had regained their independence from the Khmers, however, and in 1238 an internal uprising in the Khmer outpost of Sukhothai expelled the Khmer overlords. Xieng Dong Xieng Thong in 1353 became the capital of the Lan Xang kingdom. In 1359 the Khmer king from Angkor gave the Phra Bang to his son-in-law, the first Lang Xang monarch Fa Ngum (1353-1373); to provide Buddhist legitimacy both to Fa Ngum's rule and by extension to the sovereignty of Laos and was used to spread Theravada Buddhism in the new kingdom. The capital name was changed to Luangphabang, where it was kept, named after the Buddha image.[25]:225–226 The capital was moved in 1560 by King Setthathirath I to Vientiane, which remains the capital today.In 1707, Lan Xang fell apart because of a dynastic struggle and Luang Prabang became the capital of the independent Kingdom of Luang Phrabang. When France annexed Laos, the French recognised Luang Prabang as the royal residence of Laos. Eventually, the ruler of Luang Prabang became synonymous with the figurehead of Laos. When Laos achieved independence, the king of Luang Prabang, Sisavang Vong, became the head of state of the Kingdom of Laos.
Vientiane 永珍（老撾語：ວຽງຈັນ，羅馬化：Vieng Chan，中國大陸：萬象，馬新、台灣：永珍），老撾人民民主共和國的首都和最大城市。以前叫文單或雍田，即是撣族之城。在塞塔提臘王時成為老撾首都。
- ວຽງຈັນ拉丁轉寫為Vieng Chan, 國際音標[ʋíəŋ tɕàn]，法國殖民者按法語習慣拼寫成Vientiane。ວຽງ Vieng[ʋíəŋ]是「有城牆的城」的意思。因文字簡化的關係，ຈັນChan[tɕàn]在今天老撾語中通常的意思是月亮。所以很多老撾人理解為「月城」。但是ຈັນChan[tɕàn]在老撾語中還有一個意思是檀木。其實ວຽງຈັນ Vieng Chan的本意是檀城，Chan來自梵語「candanam」，我國古書中漢譯為「栴檀」，因此也可翻譯為「垣栴」。The name of the city is derived from Pali, the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism. Although the original meaning of the name of the city is "city of sandalwood", as shown by ancient Lao inscription which wrote according to etymology, unlike modern Lao which is written phonetically, in modern Lao, the meaning of the name Vientiane is ambiguous. Many, if not most, Lao people claim that the city's name means "city of the moon", while many also claim correctly that the city's name means "city of sandalwood" because the words for "moon" (ຈັນ or ຈັນທຣ໌ from chandra चन्द्र in Sanskrit) and "sandalwood" (ຈັນ or ຈັນທນ໌ from chandana चन्दन in Sanskrit) are written and pronounced identically as "chan" in modern Lao. Most academic and historic Lao sources claim that the city's name does in fact mean "city of sandalwood", reinforced by the city's Thai (เวียงจันทน์) and Khmer (វៀងចន្ទន៍) names both retain the etymological spelling, which indicates "city of sandalwood". The romanised spelling "Vientiane" is of French origin, and reflects the difficulty the French had in pronouncing the /tɕ/ sound in the Lao language. A common English-based spelling is "Viangchan", or occasionally "Wiangchan".

History
- The great Laotian epic, the Phra Lak Phra Lam, claims that Prince Thattaradtha founded the city when he left the legendary Lao kingdom of Muong Inthapatha Maha Nakhone because he was denied the throne in favor of his younger brother. Thattaradtha founded a city called Maha Thani Si Phan Phao on the western banks of the Mekong River; this city was said to have later become today's Udon Thani, Thailand. One day, a seven-headed Naga told Thattaradtha to start a new city on the east bank of the river opposite Maha Thani Si Phan Phao. The prince called this city Chanthabuly Si Sattanakhanahud; which was said to be the predecessor of modern Vientiane.[citation needed]
- Contrary to the Phra Lak Phra Lam, most historians believe Vientiane was an early Khmer settlement centered around a Hindu temple, which the Pha That Luang would later replace. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the time when the Lao and Thai people are believed to have entered Southeast Asia from Southern China, the few remaining Khmers in the area were either killed, removed, or assimilated into the Lao civilization, which would soon overtake the area.

- In 2018, the Trump administration sanctioned Laos to pressure the Southeast Asian country to take back its deportees. Talks between both governments have now intensified, leaving many in Fresno’s large Hmong community in fear. Since no agreement has been reached between nations, there is no timeline for deportations to begin.While the US and Lao governments remain in negotiations over a new repatriation agreement, the US is already funding a reintegration programme to assist people who have been deported to Laos in recent years.Thousands of Laotians and Hmong individuals have held a final deportation order for years, but most have not been deported because Laos refused to recognise them as its citizens. The majority have criminal convictions for which they already served time in jail or prison.As of February 1, there were 38 Laotians, nationwide, facing deportation in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody. There were also 4,716 Laotians with a final deportation order who were not in ICE’s custody, according to Britney L.

- The Lao Wiang (Thai: ลาวเวียง, pronounced [lāːw wīa̯ŋ]), sometimes also referred to as Lao Wieng, are a Tai sub-ethnic group of the Isan region. Of the approximately 50,000[2]proclaimed Lao Wiang live in villages through the region, especially the provinces of Prachinburi, Udon Thani, Nakhon Pathom, Chai Nat, Lopburi, Saraburi, Phetchaburi and Roi Etwith a significant number in Bangkok as migrant labourers or in search of better economic opportunities.The Lao Wiang are also referred to as Tai Wiang (ไทเวียง), Lao Vientiane (ลาวเวียงจันทน์), Tai Vientiane(ไทเวียงจันทน์) or simply as Wiang (เวียง). These names are also used in Laos to refer to the inhabitants of Vientiane or its descendants in Thailand. Many who are in fact Lao Wiang may only consider themselves Isan or Lao.The Lao Wiang, as their name suggests, are descendants of Lao people from the Vientiane(Wiang Chan) region (Thai: เวียงจันทน์) in modern-day Laos. After the fall of Lanxang, the three successor kingdoms were overrun by Siam and forced population transfers by the Siamese into Isan were undertaken. Much of Isan was settled this way, and is one of the main reasons for the shared Lao culture of Laos and Isan.[3] Originally slaves and forced into providing corvée labour, the Lao Wiang were freed and integrated into the general Isan population.

- 對 於瀾湄合作機制的建立，老撾磨丁經濟特區開 發集團的副總經理康鵬顯得特別高興，在他看 來，該機制的建立將為企業的發展帶來前所未 有的機遇。 3年前，雲南西雙版納地產企業海誠集團接手 了老撾磨丁特區，擁有了該地區的行政管理 權。康鵬介紹，海誠集團運營的磨丁經濟特區 是老撾國家政府 2009年成立的一個國家級經濟 專區，海誠可自主開發建設面積為 34.3平方公 里，開發年限為 90年，由磨丁國際商業金融中 心、老撾磨丁國家公園、國際保稅物流加工園 區等五大板塊組成。 康鵬說，磨丁經濟特區是「一帶一路」進入 瀾湄區域各國的第一站，老撾政府還給了該區 域最優惠的政策，然而過去集團想招聘一些中 國的建築工人，卻因護照辦理緩慢、通關不便 利等原因無法及時來到特區，同時建築材料運 輸成本高昂也為集團帶來了諸多不便。 將帶來發展新機遇 康鵬認為，瀾湄合作機制將促進瀾湄區域進 一步的合作和經貿往來，同時推動人員、貨 物、車輛通關便利化，為在該區域的中國企業 帶來實實在在的好處。「瀾湄合作機制的建 立，將推動完善該流域國家的基礎設施建設， 實現真正的互聯互通；推動區域通關便利化， 給磨丁經濟特區帶來新的發展機遇。」康鵬 說。 作為瀾湄合作機制涉及到的一員，康鵬也希 望瀾湄合作機制可以加快推動該區域基礎設施 建設，如中老鐵路、昆曼通道老撾段（磨丁到 會賽）高速公路建設。同時，推動通關便利 化，如簡化老撾車輛進入中國的臨時牌照辦理 手續、允許中國非西雙版納籍人員快速辦理邊 境通行證、允許更多的老撾、泰國商品通過磨 憨口岸進入中國市場。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2015/11/13/a19-1113.pdf

- http://www.therakyatpost.com/?p=271404 For the southwestern city of Kunming, China’s plan to extend a high-speed rail link 3,000km south to Singapore is already a boon – pristine expressways, a gleaming station and something of a real estate boom, as young buyers crowd property showrooms. But in Laos, work has yet to start on what should be the first overseas leg of a rail line stretching throughout Southeast Asia. The country, one of the region’s poorest, could struggle to finance even part of the US$7 billion (RM29 billion) cost and has yet to agree financial terms with China. From Laos, the railway would enter Thailand. But Beijing’s negotiations have soured there as well, in part over financing, adding to a growing headache for China and highlighting the sort of problems Beijing may face as it develops its economic highways beyond Southeast Asia and across Asia under its “One Belt, One Road” project.
- https://www.ft.com/content/a8d0bdae-e5bc-11e9-9743-db5a370481bc Near Bom Or, a village of dirt streets and shacks in northern Laos, Chinese construction crews have cut a tunnel through a mountainside to carry high-speed trains on a 400km rail line across the country, a section of a planned route from Kunming in south-west China to Singapore. The tunnel is part of a $6.7bn project through the rugged countryside around Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of Laos, one of the highest profile being built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Beijing has used the programme to build roads, ports and power stations in some of the world’s poorest countries. But critics have raised concerns about the social and environmental impact of the projects, saying that many of them are white elephants that have left states heavily indebted to Beijing. The project in Laos, one of Asia’s poorest countries that has no independent media and limited civil society groups, has been carried out with little public consultation. A villager in Bom Or said that 30 households had been visited three times in September by the Laos government and Chinese company officials, who asked them to move to make way for the train. They refused because they had not been offered financial compensation or alternative housing. The railway, set to open in 2021, will facilitate Laos’s ability to transport goods around the region faster and “about three times cheaper” than today, he added. The Laos-China Railway Company, which is building and will operate the link, is 30 per cent owned by Laos’s state railway company and 70 per cent by Chinese state-owned companies. These include the investment company of Yunnan, the province of which Kunming is capital; an affiliate of the sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation; and civil engineering affiliates of the state-owned rail, power and water companies. Chinese companies have won tenders to build six sections of the railway in Laos. The opening to the new tunnel sits under a sign for PowerChina, a subsidiary of which is building this section of the line. Laos’s government has taken on $480m of loans from China’s Eximbank, on concessional terms. The amount is equivalent to about 2 per cent of Laos’s gross domestic product. However, the IMF classifies Laos as a country with an “elevated” risk of debt distress because of its high existing debt, which amounts to nearly 65 per cent of GDP.
