The Great Serpent Nag in Songkhla is located in southern Thailand at Song Thale Park, Laem Son On in Songkhla City and it only takes about 1 hour to get here via car from Hat Yai. On my recent trip in April 2012 for the Songkran Festival in Hat Yai, our group of journalist was taken on a site visit to Songkhla and this was one of the unique places we visited.
There is a plaque with the inscription as follows: The Great Serpent "Nag" is the deity of the divine creation of water as well as fertility to all living things. The people of Southern Thailand believe that Nag sprays divine water so as to make people feel fresh and happy, as well as purify the blemishes which occur within our minds and bodies. As a result Nag is one of the most highly respected deities of Southern Thailand. Thus the local people frequently pay respect to Nag and ask him to forever bring happiness and good fortune to their life.
