| | Vientianne - capital of Laos - Dok Champa Jan-Mar 1994 |
| | At various times over the 10 or so centuries of its history, however, Vientiane lost its standing as an independent kingdom and was controlled by the Burmese, Siamese, Vietnamese and Khmer. | | | When the kingdom of Lan Xang (Million Elephants) was established in the 14th century by the Khmer-supported conqueror Fa Ngum, it was originally centered in Muang Sawa (Luang Prabang), but by the early 16th century the capital had been moved to Vientiane. | | | When Laos became a French protectorate in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Vientiane was named the capital city and has remained so under communist rule today. |
