Capital status
National capital of Laos
Vientiane is the capital and largest city of Laos, with around 840,000 residents recorded in the 2023 census along a gentle bend of the Mekong River that forms the border with Thailand. Established as a Lao royal seat in the 16th century and later sacked by Siamese forces in 1828, the city was redeveloped under French colonial rule from the late 19th century, leaving behind tree-shaded boulevards, shuttered villas, baguette bakeries and Catholic churches that still give the centre its distinctive Franco-Lao character. Landmarks include the gilded Pha That Luang stupa, the Patuxai victory monument, and Wat Si Saket, the city's oldest surviving temple. Compared with other Southeast Asian capitals, Vientiane retains a famously laid-back, low-rise feel. It observes Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+7) year-round with no daylight saving; the IANA zone is Asia/Vientiane.
