Description
According to lunar calendar, the eleventh full moon is the End of Buddhist Lent Day. In the north-east of Thailand, Nongkhai, there is an amazing phenomenon on the very day every year called the "Naga fireballs" (บั้งไฟพญานาค ). Hundred thousands of crowd gather by the bank of Mekong River waiting for the spectacular pink fireballs drifting into the night sky from the river surface. Legend has it that the Naga had paid respect to the Buddha when He descended from heaven after He had met His Mother there on the day of the eleventh full moon over 2 thousand years ago.

*'Naga' (นาค ) is an amphibous creature often featuring in Thai myth and literature. It looks like a great serpent which is able to spit venom and fire. Naga is the chief rival of 'Garuda'(ครุฑ ).
