Comment

The Nong Khai Provincial Seal shows a pond with a bamboo clump close to it. The bamboo symbolizes stability, glory, and continuity for the peaceful and fertile land.

The Haw Wars are a series of campaigns fought in the 1880s against mostly Chinese mobs, largely believed to be the remnants of the failed Taiping Rebellion in the Qing Empire.
