The heavy rains at the beginning of the rainy season bring floods to the fields.
By using a homemade, torpedo shaped wicker basket, and knowing exactly where to place it, the locals can get pails of free food.
Crabs, fish, frogs, snakes enter the basket and cannot escape.
Locals eat these foods caught in the flooded fields.
The locals also use a homemade fish net in a frame, which they can drop into the flood water and pull up many fish at the same time.
For people that don’t make enough to survive, there is always a way if you are willing to put in the effort.
Rural Isaan is so amazing and the people are to be admired.
