» Oct 2 will mark the end of Buddhist Lent, or Wan Ok Phansa. The three-month annual retreat of monks will complete on the day of the Full Moon of the 11th lunar month. Temples nationwide will organise fairs and festivals. One of the highlights will take place on the Mekong River in the northeastern provinces of Nong Khai and Bueng Kan where a colourful phenomenon known as the "naga fireballs" will take place.
