NongKhai, Is it really that dreary?
Quote:
Frequently, people are drawn here to see the famous Sculpture Park, Salakeawkoo with its serpent images reaching over seven stories high... Quite a few come on a quest to see the magical Maekong Fireballs... And many others because they have heard of the truly mysterious mushroom shaped rocks of at the Phu Phra Bat Historical Park, which people lived under more than 3000 years ago.
The mekhong fireballs, real or fake?
Quote:
An extraordinary happening takes place on the Maekong River on the last day of Buddhist Lent, which this year will be on Tuesday, 18th October 2005. For on that hallowed night, pink points of light arise noiselessly from the river after dusk and fly high into the sky. Only appearing either on that one evening every year, or the following night, so far nobody has been able to explain why...
Are the "Fireballs" a truly natural occurrence, or are they a giant hoax? And, if they are real, what process causes them, and why only on those special nights?
probably a hoax i reckon.

What these pink points of light actually are nobody knows... but every year, for as long as anyone can remember, they have been seen to arise soundlessly from the Maekong River just after dusk at various locations along its banks, most famously at Phon Phisai forty kilometers to the east of Nong Khai. However, in 2004 a dreadful thing happened... for on the first night of Okk Paan Saa there were no fireballs!
those ones were to soggy to light.
