The giant catfish of Buak Hat Park

Chiang Mai, Thailand
Monday, December 28, 2009

It wasn't too long after we arrived in Chiang Mai that good papa Frank located a lovely park for A to play in. We've been several times and A is a big fan of the imitation Thomas the Tank Engine swing.

But the real sleeper hit of this park is the fun one can have with a bag of fish food which are for sale at the park. Below the surface of the water one notices goldfish and other fish swimming about. But drop some of this magic fish food in the water and up from the deep (?) come some pretty scary-looking catfish. Giant creatures with big yawning maws--and look at the whiskers? antennae? on these fellows!
