It's an Oar Fish found in the Surf in California by a SEAL training class.
The story and photo were in an official US Navy magazine.
In north eastern Thailand someone added the caption and sold thousands of the prints.
Lao and Isarn families have it proudly displayed as they believe there really is a divine Naga.

The story told is that all those U.S. soldiers died due to their disrepect.
The story continues that we tried to ship it back to the U.S. and the USAF plane crashed killing all on board.

I got in many heated discussions with Lao and Thai people about the fake caption on a real photo.
You can still go to households over there and even here in the U.S. where Lao and Thai have it displayed.

Thanks for the info!

Hilarious!

But someone should tell those people a Naga is supposed to have the body of a snake and the head of a woman.

Can’t them iggernomuses keep their own superstitions straight?
