Korat Resident Believes the Naga Lives in His PoolIn the Pratai District of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, 56 year old Somdee Kangkaranok believes that the mystical Naga snake lives in his new swamp. He claims that on Jan 23, he hired workers to dig an eight meter deep pool on his plantation so he could store water for the crops. The pool was to be 20 meters long and 10 meters wide. As workers started digging, Somdee claims to have gotten a strange eerie feeling. That night, he dreamt that a giant leech was attacking him and he was surrounded in blood.
It took three days for the workers to finish digging the pool as they kept reporting trouble with the equipment. After they were done, one worker pointed out a long snake-like impression in the dirt on the sides of the pool. The impression was around 80 centimeters wide and 18 meters long.
Somdee came to the conclusion that the impression was caused by the mystic Naga, a giant snake-like creature in ancient Thai folklore. He believes that the Naga will bring he and his family good luck and massive fortune. Many locals from nearby areas have flocked to the sight. Some claim to see “lucky” numbers on the Naga impression.
