Thai Folk Tales

Every year from June to October, the Mekong River Basin in Thailand will see the spectacle of "fireballs spitting out of the river." Locals say this is a good omen for the appearance of the snake god Naga. What is the connection between Naga, the snake god who often appears in Thai mythology, and the folklore that spread along the Mekong River thousands of years ago? Loei is a small city in northeastern Thailand. Every year in mid-June, countless people wearing masks appear on the streets of Loei to celebrate a unique festival. It is said that this festival actually originated from a horrific case hundreds of years ago.
