Sikhottabong (Lao: ເມືອງສີໂຄດຕະບອງ) is a district of Vientiane Prefecture, Laos.[2][3] The district contains Wattay International Airport, the busiest airport in Laos which began its operations in 1999. The area has also seen significant investment from Japan as a result of the airport.[4]

History

Wattay Internation Airport began operations in the district in 1999. The airport would see further expansions in 2005, December 2011 to November 2012, and December 2015 to August 2018 funded in part by Japan.[4]

During an attempted robery in the district, a Chinese citizen was shot by the robbers. Lao authorities were then urged by the Embassy of China in Vientiane to arrest the couple who shot him.[5] From 6-7 August 2022, areas of the district faced heavy rain and were subsequently flooded, affecting 25 villages and 839 families. On 10 August 2022, the mayor of Vientiane, Atsaphangthong Siphandone, and the District Governor, Thavixay Maosomphou, visited Nongniao and Nong Teng which were both affected by the floods.[6]
