Thank you very much for explaining where was this picture was taken. OMG, I hardly recognize Wattay. Is that really Wattay ? I attended a Kindergarden inside Wattay in late 60. and at that time a ''Kuba'' taught me, not a regular teacher. OMG, this freak me out. and the other side I used to play and practic Soccer at Deun Akad... Waoooo I'm speechless.
Well I wasn't born in Vieng Junh either but moved there from Savannakhet as a todler. Attended K-school in Wattay and family move to Sykhay when I was on 3rd grade and all of my younger bro and Sis were borned in Sykhay (Thong Tak Dae).
Anyways, to answer to your question,
Why they name Wattay Airport ? even the main Airport is in Ban Sy Khay. Well, back in the old day. those land were belong to Thai Ban Wattay( not all, some belong to thai ban sykhay too ) especially Ban Akad area. as a matter of fact, thai wattay even own some land in Don Sieng Su.
How far from Pak Deun Yon to Wattay ? nobody know for sure because they didn't teach us in school. maybe 3or 4 football fields ?
didn't look that far to me though.
Where did they get the name Wattay from ? wao, I'm dumb this one. Maybe you were right!!! from Khon tai that migrated to Laos.555.
