Sainyabūlī, Administrative province in northwestern Laos.
Sainyabūlī extends across 16,389 square kilometers as the only Lao province situated entirely west of the Mekong River, forming an L-shaped territory.
The territory changed hands in 1904 when Siam ceded it to French Indochina, followed by a brief Thai annexation in 1941 before returning to colonial status.
The province maintains a diverse population of ethnic groups, each preserving individual traditions while contributing to the regional identity through festivals and customs.
The provincial capital offers basic accommodation options and serves as a central point for exploring the ten administrative districts through the local road network.
The region houses three quarters of Laos's domesticated elephant population, primarily supporting the local timber industry and conservation efforts.
