About this event
The Naga fireballs, unexplained lights rising from the Mekong, are watched from the riverbank at Phon Phisai and Rattanawapi on Ok Phansa, the full moon of the eleventh lunar month that ends Buddhist Lent, which falls on Friday 15 October 2027. The Tourism Authority of Thailand and the province publish the festival programme only weeks ahead, so this record is expected with the pattern stated: the fireball night is Ok Phansa itself.
