  6. \nThe naga is a supernatural being, which is very important in many cultures along the Mekong. The naaga decorates temples. \nHere’s the picture of naga. What do think it look like? \nIt looks like a cross between a snake and a dragon. It’s a serpent. \nYou may see nagas in roadside shrines. They are also at the famous ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. In Laos and Thailand, nagas are believed to offer protection to travelers and fisherman in the Mekong. \n\n

  9. \nNaga or the serpent king is also mentioned in buddhist folklore. As the lord Buddha went out preaching hisfollowers, the Naga transformed itself and mingled in the ordained disciples and follower, listening to the sermon. After the lord Buddha found out, he told the naga that it could not be ordained into monkhood. Although naga was banded from monkhood, naga continue to stay with the Lord Buddha, protecting him from danger. \nTherefore statue of the Lord Buddha seated on the body of a coiled serpent or naga, protecting him from the rain by the seven hoods of the naga is commonly found in the buddhist sculptures throughout Thailand, temples of Laos and Cambodia. \n\n\n\n\n

  11. One of the most famous festivals of Northeastern Thailand along the Mekong River bank is ‘the naga fireballs festival’ It is when thousands of pink and red orbs of light or what local people call ‘the naga fireballs’ rise from the Mekong River in Thailand’s Nong Kai province. \nAnd it happens only once a year, under the full moon of the 11th lunar month in both Thailand and Laos and usually goes for only 1-3 days\nLook a the picture here and you’ll see that a lot of people are waiting to see the fireballs here. \nThis makes people think if this is a superstitions or science?\nThe local people say that nagas made the fireballs. \nAccording to local belief, Nong Khai and other settlements along the Mekong were created by nagas.\nThe legend was later mixed with Buddhist tale. The Lord Buddha went up to heaven during the buddhist lent to visit his mother. When he returned, nagas showed their delight by shooting fireballs into the air.\nBut Manas Kanoksil, who has been observing and studying the fireballs for more than 10 years, said tha the bizarre phenomenon is the combustion of natural gases released from the riverbed.\nThe combustion requires a complete set of perfectly natural occurrences, including the relative positions of the earth, sun and moon. Hence its occurrence on the last night of Buddhist Lent.\nRegardless, the drama continues, and the number of spectators rises annually.\n

  25. The Mekong Giant catfish population has reduced by up to 80% in the last few decades, making it being added into the list of Critically Endangered Species in 2004 by the international Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Fishermen continue to catch and sell the fish. The catch of giant catfish is often incidental and the fishermen wouldn’t report the catch as they are afraid of being fined for catching a protected species.\nStretch of river between Chiang Khong and Chiang Saen in Thailand is almost certainly spawning habitat for Mekong Giant Catfish. Harmful modifications in the area include port construction in chiang Saen and rapids blasting (as part of the Mekong Navigation Improvement Project). \nThe Tonle Sap Lake, the largest floodplain in Southeast Asia, is a rearing ground for Mekong giant catfish. As the forest of the Tole Sap are cleared for firewood and make space for agriculture, the habitat and resource available to the fish decrease. Dams on the Mekong in china may impact the spawning migration of giant cat fish in Thailand and Laos because spawning behavior maybe trigged by water quality of flow. \n\n

  30. The Mekong and the Tonle sap are very important to local people as it is the main food source of the people. There are about 1200 species of fish in the Mekong and 500 species are found in the Tonle Sap. Approximately 2.6 millions tons of aquatic life are harvested each year. Flood plain of the Mekong is so important for its productive rice farm. \n

  33. One more point I’d like to emphasize here is “tourism industry of the Mekong Region” Tourism plays an important part of this region for its beautiful natural resources and cultural richness. At the Siphandone region in Southern Laos, the Irrawaddy Dolphins and the Khone Phapheng Falls are national tourist attractions that sustain a thriving local tourism industry. The sleepy little town of Pon Pisai of Nongkai province and many other places of both Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia have become a popular destination for cultural festivities. Festivals such as the Naga fireballs and water festival\n

  38. Do you know why would traditional style of houses along the mekong be built this way? \nLet’s guess\n\n
  39. Every country represented in the Mekong program has one or more distinct languages with beautiful characters or scripts. The following are names of the Mekong River written in five different languages. Guess which one is Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian, or Chinese. Try writing names of each script in your study guide\nIn the space below, try to copy the word for “Mekong” in one of the languages by following the example provide. \n
