Laos / Vietnam
On record here: the place name, Wikidata’s centre point for Laos and the local time; not on record: which Aquilaria grows here, a region, a harvest season or traditions (the CITES database lists Aquilaria malaccensis in Vietnam but not in Laos). Laos and Vietnam were once the page’s second point for oud; the pin is gone.
This record keeps Wikidata’s centroid for Laos and its local time; no point for Vietnam is filed.
