Phaya Naga Plaza

Phaya Naga Plaza is a riverside public plaza on the Mekong River promenade in Nai Mueang, Mueang Nong Khai, Nong Khai city. It is centered on large Naga serpent sculptures reflecting local Mekong folklore. Located along Rim Khong Road near Tha Sadet Market, it serves as a viewpoint, photo spot and gathering place with open paved areas facing the river and Laos on the opposite bank.

Visitors can expect an open paved plaza along the Mekong River waterfront with prominent Phaya Naga serpent statues, decorative naga balustrades and viewing areas overlooking the river. The setting is an urban riverside promenade with seating, walkways and open space for strolling and photography. The area connects to the riverside walking path and nearby market, with views across the Mekong to Laos, especially scenic at sunset and when illuminated in the evening.

The plaza reflects the cultural reverence for Phaya Naga, the mythical naga serpent believed to reside in the Mekong River, which is significant in Isan and Lao Buddhist folklore and associated with the annual Naga Fireball phenomenon in Nong Khai.
