Later on, big change had happed which was emerging of Buddhism and Hinduism from India. And from believing in nature spirit, people then embraced the new religions more. But instead of totally converting themselves to the new religions, people adapted their old beliefs to go along with the new one, and from snake which was believed as holy spirit, now transformed into Naga which was now held as demigod (a serpent with decorated head crest).

In Thailand now, the Naga belief might be different depending on places, which reflects long-deep connection between human and snake or Naga. And even though the Naga doesn’t psychically exist (for most people), but they certainly exist spiritually.
