It is located in the northeastern part of Thailand, and the locals there have their own explanation for the mysterious balls of fire resulting from the Mekong river: they say they are balls of fire from the mythical Naga serpent.

There was once a tram in Bangkok. Today, Bangkok is known for traffic chronic jammeritis, and practically the only wayto avoid traffic blocked the ultra-modern Skytrain (BTS) or underground, even more recently (MRT). But it was once was a tram runs through Bangkok. The tram network in Bangkok was founded in 1894 and rose closed since 1968.

In fact, in Isaan (northeastern Thailand), is also believed that a long nail on his little finger is happiness. It was also that many men also told me to my question because they have long fingernails, it makes sense: it is easy to scratch himself with long fingernails, and sometimes useful to show something.
