Naga Fireball Festival
October
Over several nights in October, something mysterious happens along the Mekong River at Nong Khai. Crowds flock to see huge fireballs erupting out of the water, with many claiming it's the work of the mythical serpent ‘Naga’ (others suggest it's a build-up of methane). This is a truly unique phenomenon that even scientists can’t fully explain.
Location Nong Khai, Thailand
Phuket Vegetarian Festival
September-October
During the ninth month of each lunar year, many Buddhists make a pledge to not eat meat in the hope of improved fortune. On the island of Phuket, this is excuse enough for an all-out celebration. Two action-packed weeks see huge parades and carnivals through the streets, fireworks and of course, plenty of delicious vegetarian food.
Location Phuket, Thailand
What Others Say
Here is a small selection of the kind words our clients have said about us recently.
Peter & Bryna, New Jersey
We are intrepid travelers who love to get off the beaten track to explore. Remote Lands did a great job of arranging our trip to some of the less trodden parts of Indonesia.
A couple from Australia
Your service was excellent, and as a matter of fact we felt slightly overindulged in luxury and too well looked after at some moments.
