I was just a little south of the Naga statue down on the lowest step before the river bank. Got there at 4:00pm and the crowds hadn't arrived...yet Sometime aroung 6:00pm the crowd showed up in force and the place was packed. I'll post some pictures soon.

Sad to say I only saw a few fireballs and they were close to the shore and came out of the water and just skimmed across the top of the water. We left about 9:00pm as A was tired and disapointed. She heard on the radio as we got home around 12:00am still nothing Oh well only one let down on this trip so far and I cant complain. Besides I did my own Naga fireball show

Disapppnted Just talked my French freind down the street, they and the bike group spent the night camping in the Ponpasai area last night this is his third year he is of yet to see one fireball. Im told him need to drink moer Lao Whiskey to see them. I think thye had fun but thye were all so eadtired today hard to tell

They must have known that I wasn't going to be in town, saving all the action for when I come

Sean,next year i am saying nothing.

Don't know where you fellows were standing. The local paper reports over 150 fire balls starting from 6.00pm before it even got dark, viewed from the centre steps?Maybe , still in the bar?

I just came across this today, and although it's obviously a few years old, the author's descriptions of his travelling visit in search of Naga was more interesting than I expected:

Darn Garnet, I really had my blood pumping. I was finally going to get to moderate a post and you did not say anything bad.

Now I will have to wait for someone to say darn or heck.

Now look at me saying those atrocious words. Will have to moderate myself.

[Garnet]

Hmmm....

....And the waiting, circling shark actually baits those who have--with any show of impunity--dared to enter its murky waters....

[Alagrl]

What is the saying?

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely?

[BobHelm]

Brian,

Just to keep you happy.....

Heck, what does it have to be so darn cold in the UK at the moment..

[banpaeng]

Thanks Bob, watch when you say Darn.

By the way just in case someone missed my point it was said in jest about moderator. It is something that should never have to be used. If so will most likely have to use on myself.

Garnet, If I offended you I apologize. It was, you are the first post since that has been done and I was only saying that in jest. Again if I offended you I apologize.

[Garnet]

Admittedly, still smarting from a few unchallenged remarks levied last Fall/Winter, Brian. However, I clearly enough recognized the lightheartedness of this mock-challenge as Moderator, though. I guess I just needed to finally allude to some sensitivity still lingering at this end.

[banpaeng]

One of these days we will have a beer and forget it all. If not at least we will agree to disagree. Lets just wait for the beer.

later.

[Thai_1_On]

Ok Banpaeng you can edit this post if necessary

This is one of the GOD&#^% , piece of %*$# , F^#&*#@ fireballs that I saw But not all was lost though...you should have seen the Tiger Beer girl selling beer to the crowd



OK so the picture is a little small I'll post a bigger one to the Album Misc. just look for the arrow.

[Bump]

Oh to heck with all that lets talk about the Toger ber girl, I'm old I need the excitement

[Garnet]

I'm with Ray, Thai_1_On--post a photo of a Tiger Girl! I've yet to actually see one, so to me, they're as rare as any fireball, and probably much more riveting to the eye!

And maybe on the rare day that I'm actually seeing a Tiger Girl, I'll be having a beer at the same table as Brian--who knows?

[Bump]

There were darn sure some lookers at tht bike show today, in the guets the waitreses and entertainers.

I got the biggest laugh there was a group of a hardcore farrang types that were going nuts over one performer, what they didn't know was they were watching the lady boy show

Wish I had a picture to post but, OK quick story. I had my spot all pick out on the wall and TW was off shopping. My beer supply was running low like a true vision here comes one of the famous Tiger Beer Girls She was wearing one of those orange and black super short dresses that could have been spray painted on her I buy the whole 6 pack shes carrying and a nice tip that gets the big smile and wai then turn around the retrive the camera and guess who's standing there

[Garnet]

But at least you thought of it, so I'll credit you for that attempt! I'd probably have been too timid to try and photograph her to best advantage--more likely I'd try a distance shot that would be too small to appreciate afterwards.
