Draft:Southern Laos
Region of Laos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southern Laos, or commonly known as Lower Laos, is the four southern provinces of Laos, including Attapeu, Saravane, Sekong, and Champasak. Lower Laos had a population of about 1.11 million in 2004, accounting for about 18.3% of the total population of Laos.[1] Compared to Central Laos, the economy here is less developed. Currently, the Lao government is planning to develop the economy of this region based on the East-West Economic Corridor connecting this region with Thailand in the west and southern Vietnam in the east. Three of the four southern Lao provinces, Attapeu, Saravane, and Sekong, participate in the Cambodia–Laos–Vietnam Development Triangle Area.

Lower Laos is located on the Bolaven Plateau, with soil and climate suitable for growing coffee (both arabica and robusta), rubber, and tobacco. Regarding rivers, the middle section of the Mekong River occupies a major position. A large tributary, the Sekong River, flows from the Truong Son range through Laos and then crosses the border into Cambodia.
