Phon Phisai, Nong Khai · Every October to November
Naga fireballs on the Mekong
On one full-moon night, glowing red orbs rise silently from the Mekong and a whole province watches.
On now until November 5
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Udon Thani or Vientiane for October 1 to November 5, 2026, round trips of 2 to 4 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Nong Khai hotels sell out for the night; Udon Thani has more rooms and an easy road.
- Bring a mat and dinner; the riverbank is a long, cheerful picnic.
- Udon Thani airport is about 90 minutes from Phon Phisai by road; Vientiane's airport is across the Friendship Bridge, about two hours with the border crossing.
