While we didn't see any fireballs, there were plenty of lanterns being lit and released to the sky, and smaller ones were sent down sailing on the Mekong River. It was a pretty magical sight.

Naga Fireball Festival
The Naga Festival is held every year along the Mekong River on the last full moon in October. There is supposed to be a natural phenomenom of Naga (dragon) fireballs appearing at this time, and many towns along the Mekong celebrate this event, including Nong Khai.
