A team of Thai ice sculpture artists earned the runner-up position in a contest held in Sapporo, showcasing their artwork inspired by the mystical Naga fireballs along the Mekong River.
Organisers of the International Snow Sculpture on Wednesday announced that the Thai team secured the second spot in the competition, marking the event’s return since the conclusion of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Thai team’s creation, “Naga Fireballs“, drew inspiration the strong religious beliefs and reverence for the naga among the people in the northeastern region, particularly those residing along the Mekong. The team comprised Kusol Boonkorbsongserm from Shangri-La Hotel and two independent artists, Amnuaysook Srisook and Kritsana Wongtes.
