Pha Daeng Nong Ai

I had no idea what the title meant.  
The only explanations I was offered "Ancient Thai" and "ancient clothes."
I goggled the name.  What a surprise!!

The legend of Nong Han (lake Han).


Pha Daeng Nong Ai is the town that once flourished where the lake is today.
According to legend the Khmer town was flooded by Naga creating the present day lake.

Read about the legend at  Thailand Travel Online 


WIKIPEDIA: Naga
a serpent deity in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.



















Interesting legend:  Don't eat the squirrel
