About the only ones who enjoyed another round of flooding in Pattaya were fish from the Dusit Thani Hotel which escaped when their pond overflowed.
Their joy was short-lived, however, as crafty passersby managed to scoop up most of them for supper.
The April 11 storm initially came as relief from the hot weather, but soon turned to misery for drivers as Beach Road flooded again.
Some, though, took the opportunity to scoop up dozens of fish that streamed over the Dusit’s retaining wall and into the street.
Crafty passersby quickly scooped up the free fish flowing out of the Dusit Thani Pattaya’s fish pond.
Fish were kept on the grounds as part of the hotel’s environmental initiative. But the environmental initiative quickly turned into a charity initiative when Pattaya’s inadequate infrastructure tipped the scales on the fish, freeing them from captivity only long enough to end up on dinner plates.
