Mekong magic
During the full moon in October, crowds of speculators gather on the bank of Mekong River in Nong Khai to witness the curious and enigmatic phenomenon known as the “naga fireball”. Last October, more than 100 mysterious fireballs shot up into the air above the mighty Mekong, and the debate goes on whether they’re paranormal phenomena, a hoax or a tourist trap. The fireballs, if any, are expected to return to Mekong on October 30 – the night before the Halloween.
