According to [1] there's a new district named Phon Thong in Luang Prabang recently created. Any details anyone? andy ( talk) 22:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Phonthong District, Luang Prabang has been added to the wiki but redirects showing it in Champassack Province. lo.wiki has an entry: lo:ເມືອງໂພນທອງ though... To be clarified by native speakers ;) -- katpatuka ( talk) 10:51, 4 February 2017 (UTC) reply
