Here’s one of the many photos of that snakehead which we’ve downloaded from a ‘fake news’ website, and under that are the ‘keywords’ that they’ve included with the video, in an attempt to boost the number of hits they get to their page. One is supposedly a picture of the head of a mummified giant snake, but in actual fact this is a picture of a totally different rock formation found in Laos, in a wilderness area 10km from Ratchaburi. In recent months, videos and images have appeared which were taken from the surrounding area. Naka means ‘snake’ in the Thai language, and the cave took its name from the texture of some stones in the area, which resembles the scaled skin of a snake. Naka Cave (or Nāga Cave) is located in Phu Langka National Park which is in the Bueng Khong Long District of Bueng Kan Province, Thailand. He’d seen snakeskin before, but never with this strange pattern: for one half was coloured a brilliant red, while the other half was as green as the leaves on the great tree… He picked the skin up and turned it around in his hands. Once more the girl was gone, but at his feet he saw that a snake had shed its skin. Suddenly, he saw a flash of a red and green cape, just behind a great tree, and ran towards it. He knew, deep in his heart, that it had to be the same girl who was singing so beautifully, just moments before.

He was about to turn around and go back home when he heard the sound of a girl softly crying. He ran in the direction of the voice and looked high and low, but the singing had stopped and the girl was nowhere to be seen. He’d never heard the song before, but her voice was so sweet – and the words were so sad and melancholy – that he instantly fell in love with her. One day, as the Prince was walking aimlessly through the woods along the shores of the Khong Long Lake, he heard a girl singing way off in the distance.
