Fire & Ball Festival, Vang Vieng Kayak Trip, Vientiane & Vang Vieng, Laos - For centuries, Lao and Thai people have reported a strange natural phenomenon that takes place at a certain time each year. Near the night of the full moon, legend has it that the Naga (a sea serpent creature) comes near the surface in the Mekong river near Nong Khai and breathes balls of fire into the sky. Strange as the rumor seems, every year, thousands of people flock to the river banks lining the area a wait for the event, and……. It happens. From whatever source, flaming balls of fire do erupt from the surface of the river and fly into the sky. The exact cause of the event has been explained from everything from balls of methane “swamp gas” to the great Naga itself, but whatever explanation you choose, the event has turned into a major party each year. Along with the Naga watch, this trip includes a trip to Laos for sightseeing in the Vientiane area, a trip to Ngam Ngum dam for a huge fish eating fest and boat trip on the lake, and a one day whitewater Kayak trip down the Nam Lik river.

This trip originates in Bangkok and includes overnight train trips to and from Nong Khai.

LITTLE LEFTOVER POINTS? Each country will be making occasional trips to in-country destinations on long weekends. Usually these three day trips cost between 2 and 3 points and make a good way to insure you get to use all your trip credits.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TEFL COURSE SIGN UPS: We strongly advise that you do not book your TEFL course on a month that coincides with a trip you really want to go on. Should you decide to do this your TEFL course will be 8 weeks long due to you missing your allocated teaching English practice in Thailand. We recommend that you do the TEFL course a month before going on a Thailand TEFL trip, giving you time to find teaching job or travel around the other parts of the country or Asia.
