Mường Thanh
Mường Thanh is a ward of Điện Biên Phủ in Điện Biên Province in northwestern Vietnam. It was a township of Điện Biên District before it was incorporated into Điện Biên Phủ city.
Mường Thanh is named after Muang Theng or Müang Thaeng, which was, according to the Khun Borom creation myth, the original home of the Tai peoples.
Until the 1950s, Mường Thanh was the centre of an autonomous chiefdom of the Tai Dam, one of the 12 cantons of the confederation Sip Song Chau Tai.
