Visit Nong Khai and see the only Naga fireball in the world.

On the 15th day of the waxing moon of the 11th month of every year, we have an appointment to watch the Naga fireball phenomenon. This year, it falls on October 17, 2567. The Naga fireballs, or in the past, Nong Khai people called them ghost fireballs, have been around for a long time, occurring only in the Mekong River in Nong Khai and Bueng Kan provinces. They are reddish-pink fireballs the size of a ball, rising from the Mekong River, glowing brightly, without smoke, noise, or smell, without sparks, falling down, or breaking apart. However, the light will flicker and disappear into the sky when it reaches 50-150 meters. Later, the people of Nong Khai unanimously renamed the ghost fireballs to be auspicious as "Naga fireballs" because they believe that the Naga that lives under the water palace in the Mekong River releases fireballs on the 15th day of the waxing moon of the 11th month of every year as a Buddhist offering to the Lord Buddha when he returns from the Tavatimsa heaven. Over the past 30 years, when Thai and foreign people and tourists have flocked to see and prove it each year in large numbers, Nong Khai Province has organized many activities to support and respond during the end of Buddhist Lent, which is the 15th day of the 11th lunar month (which this year falls on Thursday, October 17, 2567) in various types and to facilitate and ensure safety during travel.
