My Fish Farm                                                                                      Water - the source of all life                                                River - Mae Naam - which means mother water in thai                       The fishponds are filled with freshwater from the nearby river. I use a powerfull waterpump that provides about 15 liters per second.         The small river comes from the Erawan Dam in the mountains near the burmese border. In these jungle mountains the water is         clean and fresh without pollution. The water is used for agricultre like rice fields and fish farms.               my wife Pom collecting freshwater snails                      searching for snails in our fish pond                     Fish Pond in front of my house.  In this pond I have Koi, Giant Gourami, Tilapia St'Peters Fish, Snake Head, Pla Bu and more...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Freshwater snails ready for the market.                    Small pond in the garden.                                 more to come ... in September ...                    My daughter Lisa -  she seems to like our lake ...                    Lisa likes Thon too.                   Row the boat                   can't wait for dinner to be served                  Snake head and barbs fresh from the pond                 suki yaki                 My son Nawin, nickname Nicki                                                                                                                      Fishing in Thailand All these fish are native to the rivers and lakes in Thailand and some of them can even be found in the ponds around my house.
