According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, a natural geological feature known as the 'Naga Eye' (ดวงตาพญานาค) has become a viral sensation at Phu Langka National Park, located in the Bueng Khong Long district of Bueng Kan province.
The Natural Phenomenon
The formation is located within the well-known Naga Cave (ถ้ำนาคา). It consists of natural rock textures and grooves that create the appearance of a large, lifelike eye. The site also features a natural pool of clear water that collects within the rock cavity, which locals and visitors often associate with the sacred water of the Naga, a mythical serpent deity in Thai tradition.
Significance for Visitors
For travelers and those interested in local spiritual traditions, the site has become a popular destination for those seeking to pay respects. In Thai belief, the Naga is associated with water and prosperity, leading many visitors to hike to the site to pray for success in their careers and financial well-being. The site is currently attracting significant interest from photographers and those interested in natural wonders.
Status and Confirmation
While the site is drawing large crowds and social media attention, visitors should note that the area requires hiking to access. As of August 2026, the 'Naga Eye' is being promoted as a must-visit destination for those exploring the natural landscapes of northeastern Thailand. Prospective travelers should verify current park access regulations and hiking conditions with local authorities before planning their trip.
