End of Buddhist Lent Festival in Nong Khai Province

The first light after the Buddhist Lent... in Nong Khai
The end of Buddhist Lent festival on the banks of the Mekong River marks not just the end of the Buddhist Lent, but the beginning of new and beautiful stories.

🛶 The Mekong River has been bustling since the afternoon...
The fire boats are being prepared, dimly lit, ready to explode with color at night.
The locals chatter in charming accents.
The aroma of sizzling Khao Jee (grilled sticky rice) is wafting through the air.
The fragrant Laotian clay pot noodles, the soup simmering in the middle of the Mekong riverside market.

🌕 As the sun sets,
people begin to crowd the riverbanks. All eyes are on the stillness of the water.
Because we are all waiting... "Naga Fireballs"

✨ A mysterious phenomenon that no one can explain,
but everyone unanimously believes...
And when the red light bursts from the middle of the river,
the excitement, the belief, the joy... all come together as one.

📷 For us, Go.Eat.Go,
it's not just a festival, it's a "shared memory of the people along the Mekong River."
The light, the color, the smell, and the taste, all permeate the same night.
— End of Buddhist Lent in Nong Khai isn't just about Naga fireballs,
it's the most heartwarming night of the year.
