  • Siho Lanphouthacoul (Lao: ສີໂຫ ລຳພຸທທະກຸລ, 1934 – September 1966) was a Laotian paramilitary police officer. He used his powers as the National Director of Coordination to build Laotian police forces into a national power.

Acquiring the National Police from the Ministry of the Interior, and co-opting local military police, Siho consolidated the Lao police into the Directorate of National Coordination. Attaining a strength of 6,500 men, the DNC would be Siho's instrument for his short-lived 18 April 1964 coup. Having failed once in his attempt to take over the Kingdom of Laos, Siho sat out the 1965 Laotian coups. Nevertheless, the Royal Lao Army would attack and dismantle the Directorate of Coordination on 3 February 1965, driving Siho into exile in Thailand. In June 1966, he believed it safe to return to Laos and surrender. Three months later, he was shot while trying to escape. (en)
