Hi Roy, How does that thing work, what do they catch with it. Good framing and title BTW

Cannot work out what it is either, thought it was some kind of contraption to catch insects with them being a delicacy over there. Good shot Roy

It's a good shot because it's all got us asking.............. what is it, how does it work?

Ok ... I will explain



They are fishing for little fish , if you look at the nearest corner of the net to her you will see them . You may have seen the floods reported on the news , well this was the start of them . The fast running high waters in rivers and canals encouraged the locals to gather somethings in large numbers .

They simply lay the net in the current and lift after a few seconds , catching ten or twenty little fish at a time .

We Purchased 2 kilo , took them home and cleaned , dipped them in flour and and finally deep fried , delicious with sticky rice and sweet sauce .

When I say exploit , I don't mean that in a bad way , but the thais are wonderful at making money from a situation , like the floods for instance ... selling small boats ,bowls for carrying their possessions , catching fish and this all happens within an instant of a disaster happening .... A WONDERFUL PLACE

By the way I am pleased you like the Photo.

I see, it all becomes clear now, I still couldn't see them in the net, but I understand now.

I quite like the second shot too, although I prefer my fish a bit bigger, in batter and old news paper

Thanks Ken ,

If you look carefully she is collecting them up in her hand .

The second shot I took with a macro lens a friend loaned me for my hols
