I spot a finger pointer!!!  but in all seriousness... are these fish REALLY 200 years old?  and how do they know???   :coffee1:

Carbon dating: They give the fish to a local, and if they strike up a relationship the fish will reveal its date of birth in duplicate, via carbon paper.

I visit Bang Rong almost daily as it's where there nearest shops from Ao Por are locate. 

 

It's a Thai village, with nothing special, excepts the pier to neighbouring islands.
