| Nat (9) helps his grandmother to collect the dead fish | |
 |
|
| Also Mali (68) and Nat (9) have been up for hours on the beach and collect dead fish. Mali is too old to work and can supply Nat and herself only by small assistance work since. She also gets no pension. Nat 's parents already died in a traffic accident, so Nat grows up with his grandmother. Both are now very happy because they want to put the fish in salt, so that they can still enjoy it in weeks. | |

 |
| Proudly Mali shows off her booty. Today she will filletes and cook the fish |

One effect the flood disaster in Thailand: As far as the eye can see
dead fish lie on the once white and clean beach of Cha-Am.
Between washed up plastic and garbage, once beautiful fish lies at the beach
The flooding is expected to end within the next one to two weeks and therefore also the contamination of the water.
We recommend you for your own safety to avoid in the next two weeks the sea, as well much garbage floating around the water. And in that time as possible avoid it to eat fish.
In a few weeks the situation should have neutralized again and the water quality and the beaches are again so pure and so splendid as they were before.
