Keoi Lau Mi in Cantonese or Jū Lóu Mì in the Han Chinese (Chinese: 拘蒌蜜国/拘蔞蜜国) is an ancient kingdom of the Kuy people mentioned in the Chinese text Tang Huiyao. Keoi Lau Mi was mostly inhabited by mountainous people and was rich in elephants, which were raised for use.
There are few historical records about this kingdom. Its customs were the same as Chi Tu and Duò Hé Luó (堕和罗; Dvaravati). Keoi Lau Mì sent tributes to the Chinese court once during the reign of Emperor Gaozong in August 656 CE to offering a five-colored parrot. In addition, it also had a good relationship with neighboring countries such as Pán Pán Zhì Wù, Pó Lì, Bù Shù, and Wen Dan.
