Thai Fishing

The day after the wedding Paa asked if I wanted to see Thai fishing. At a local village pond, all the local villagers paid 50 Baht per team or net to catch as many fish as they could. I had been wanting to see them fishing up close, but got a lot closer than I expected, it was a very hot day and after a couple of invites to join in, I did, much to their surprise. I became Paa’s uncle Ee-at’s fish collector. He threw the net, and then we felt around in the mud under the net for fish. I only caught one, every time I touched one I was so surprised I was not quick enough to grab it. Some great pictures. A couple of people got injured by spiky fish, luckily I did not even get a scratch. Just after I got out Ee-at found a snake in the water and threw it to me!
