Nongkhai has two spots by the river where we can find two Nagas guarding the river. The green Naga represents the Naga from Laos while the brown or golden Naga represents Naga from the Thai side.

A long time ago there were two tribes of Naga, mythical water snakes with magical power and they could appear as human beings, living along the Mae Khong River. One day, a war broke out between the green and brown Nagas causing hardship and suffering to lots of people. So, the Buddha had to intervene by summonding the two kings to a peace talk. The conclusion was that the tribal war was ended by dividing their kingdom into two separate territory. The green Naga tribe would live on the Lao side of the river. The brown Naga tribe would live on the Thai side of the river so that there would be no causes of war in the future.

So far, they have kept their promises to stay within their kingdoms. The river has become very peaceful ever since ancient time as the great water snakes no longer quarrel not fight over territory,

ที่หนองคายมีจุดชมวิวที่เราสามารถถ่ายรูป กับพญานาคสองคู่ที่เฝ้าแม่น้ำโขง พญานาคสีเขียวคือพวกที่อยู่บนฝั่งแม่น้ำโขงทางฝั่งลาว ส่วนพญานาคสีน้ำตาลหรือสีทองคือพวกที่อยู่ทางฝั่งไทย

มีเรื่องเล่าในอดีตว่า พญานาคสองฝ่าย มีการทะเลาะวิวาทจนกลายเป็นสงครามระหว่างสองเผ่า ทำให้เกิดความเดือดร้อนไปทั่ว ทำให้พระพุทธเจ้าเรียกหัวหน้าของทั้งสองฝ่ายมาหาทางตกลงยุติสงคราม. สรุปคือฝ่ายสีเขียวได้ดินแดนฝั่งแม่นํ้าโขงฝั่งลาวเป็นอาณาจักร ฝ่ายสีน้ำตาลได้อยู่ฝั่งแม่นํ้าฝั่งไทย ทำให้ยุติการทะเลาะและสงครามตั้งแต่นั้น ต่างฝ่ายต่างรักษาสัญญาทำให้แม่นํ้าโขงมีความสงบสุขมาจนทุกวันนี้

Wishing you a happy weekend.

Cheers.
