Lái Thiêu is a ward of Thuận An city in Bình Dương Province of Southeast region of Vietnam. It is famous for its ceramics and fruits.^[3][4]

The area of Lái Thiêu nowadays was known as Tân Thới and Phú Long before 1975, it has been one of the two downtown of former Lái Thiêu district (along with An Thạnh, also known as Búng) and the county seat here since Minh Mạng dynasty.

After 1975, Lái Thiêu district renamed to Thuận An district, the name Lái Thiêu was renamed for Tân Thới commune as Lái Thiêu commune then Lái Thiêu town. Until 2011, when Thuận An district was upgraded to District-level town, Lái Thiêu town became Lái Thiêu ward.

Lái Thiêu consists of 9 neighborhoods:

• Hòa Long
• Long Thới
• Chợ
• Nguyễn Trãi
• Đông Nhì
• Đông Tư
• Bình Hòa
• Bình Đức 1
• Bình Đức 2

• Nguyen Trai High School
• Nguyen Van Tiet Middle School
• Phu Long Middle School
• Tran Quoc Toan Primary School

Before 1975, Lái Thiêu used to be a rich land with many features such as tourism to Ngang Bridge (Cầu Ngang) and Bình Nhâm fruit gardens, traditional craft villages, lacquer crafts, glass paintings, clogs, crockery, porcelain, etc. Lái Thiêu area is now Thuận An area with 11 communes of Tân Thới, Phú Long (the first two ward is now the Lái Thiêu ward), Vĩnh Phú, Bình Nhâm, Bình Hòa, Hưng Định, An Thạnh (Búng), An Sơn, Bình Chuẩn, Thuận Giao and An Phú. After 1975, Thuận Giao and An Phú areas were planned to be built in the direction of an industrial park where many people from other places come to live and work, so the name Thuận An is a combination of Thuận Giao and An Phú to replace Lái Thiêu, also to tribute the Thuận An Hòa War Zone ("Hòa" was taken from Bình Hòa).

Later, Lái Thiêu was named for the downtown of Thuận An district (formerly known as Tân Thới and Phú Long) and now is the central ward of the city of Thuận An.
