From Thailand ( A Peek Inside The Thailand )

One of our members on Aquatic Passion is known for providing us great updates about the Thai Culture and Environment. The most recent is best called ‘A Peek Inside Thailand. Below is the article, the article and information was written by block2, on Aquatic Passion. The photos were also provided by him. Enjoy!

Hi All,

As mentioned previously, where I’m staying is a lovely location, but it does have it drawbacks, as mentioned a while back, we got flooded twice last year, here’s a few pics

At the beginning of last year the council installed a large water tower for the lake to supply the village with water…and it soon started to drain the lake..but it seemed to rain everyday from April to October and the lake got shallower and shallower, rather than filling up, so the Tower was doing it’s job, as you can see from the pics the village lake is around 30 metres deep.

Here’s a couple of old girls and their dogs from the village, they come everyday to catch smallfish to feed their dogs and themselves, they use bamboo sticks with a bit of line and hook and a bit of wood as a float..as the water fell so they had to climb further down the side of the lake…

That lady there climbing up the steep bank is in her 70′s..one slip and she would be in serious trouble. The other girl is her grandaughter.

Here’s the water tower

Like I say I couldn’t work out why the lake was getting shallower and not filling up…it had not stopped raining for months, I had to go on a visa run and when I left the lake was almost empty I was gone 1 day and upon my return the lake was full…I couldn’t believe it…but the installation of the water tower, even though it is an eyesore, saved us from a flooding this year.

This pic is opposite to where the 2 women are climbing up the bank, so you can imagine how deep it is..

All the best for 2010 to all at AquaticPassion

Here’s what Lim Mei Leng says about Coco:

"Apple is my Coco’s favourite treat. Though Coco is a very shy bunny, he can do anything for his apple, he will run to me, sniff at the apple at my palm and he will slowly enjoy his apple once I put it in front of him………..this photo was taken while he was “taking care” of his apple……….well, Coco is the apple of my eyes………. "

"The picture of Coco and his apple really made our day! Thanks for sharing your bunny with us."
