Hi...Heiko.
Welcome to Thailand and sorry i'm late.
First time i don't understood what u means "mekong"??? (i things u living in the northeast of Thailand or in Laos.Becouse Mekong River was origin of a this fish. ha ha ha...)
But this time....ummm i see...
This fish type. u spoke "mekong",someone calls "MEKONG GIANT CATCHFISH" but we calls its "Buek" or "Pla Buek" !!! ("Pla ...." is always prefixed to the name of a fish for Thai's colloquialism.)
That day,i see women catched fish as well.Her'name Tiffany and she comes from USA.i talk to her,she says "it's her first catched at the same".
When u comes Thailand. I hopes u so happy about ur fishing,and very happy about received by Thailander.
One of these days maybe i have see of u there too.
p.s. :: Do u read Thai fonts (the Thai language)???? :-O
