Laos Province Capitals Quiz

Practice Laos province capitals by matching each first-level division to its city anchor. The quiz includes straightforward pairs such as Phongsali-Phongsali, Luang Namtha-Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang-Luang Prabang, Vientiane Prefecture-Vientiane, Savannakhet-Savannakhet and harder non-matching pairs such as Bokeo-Houayxay, Oudomxay-Xay, Houaphan-Xam Neua, Xayabury-Sainyabuli, Xiangkhouang-Phonsavan, Vientiane Province-Vangvieng. Play it after the provinces map quiz so capitals in the northern highlands, the Mekong corridor, and the southern provinces all connect to a visible location.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capital of Laos?

Vientiane is the national capital of Laos and the capital of Vientiane Prefecture. In the capital quiz, it is separate from Vientiane Province-Vangvieng.

Which Laos province capitals have different names?

Important non-matching pairs include Bokeo-Houayxay, Oudomxay-Xay, Houaphan-Xam Neua, Xayabury-Sainyabuli, Xiangkhouang-Phonsavan, Vientiane Province-Vangvieng, Bolikhamxai-Paksan, Khammouane-Thakhek, Xaisomboun-Anouvong. These usually need more repetition than same-name pairs such as Phongsali-Phongsali, Luang Namtha-Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang-Luang Prabang, Vientiane Prefecture-Vientiane.

Should I learn the Laos map before capitals?

Yes. Capitals are easier after you can place Vientiane, the northern highlands, the Mekong corridor, and the southern provinces. The map gives each city a location cue instead of leaving it as a loose name.

Which capitals are useful route anchors?

Use Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Thakhek, Savannakhet, and Pakse as major route anchors, then add northern and southern capitals such as Xam Neua, Phonsavan, Sekong, and Attapeu.
