The Lao National Anthem was first adopted as the national anthem of the Kingdom of Laos in 1945. It was written and composed in 1941 by Thongdy Sounthonevichit. After the Laotian Civil War and the establishment of the Lao People's Democratic Republic in 1975, the original lyrics were revised by Sisana Sisane, and these lyrics remain in use to this day.
