Phaya Naga
In Southeast Asian folklore, the Phaya Naga (Thai: พญานาค; Lao: ພະຍານາກ ; RTGS: phaya nak; literally: lord of nāga) are nāga, serpent-like creatures, believed by locals to live in the Mekong river or estuaries. Common explanations of their sightings have been attributed to oarfish, elongated fish with red crests; however, these are exclusively marine and usually live at great depths. People in both Laos and Thailand attribute the naga fireballs phenomenon to these creatures.[1]read more
