Local officials in Pha Ngam sub-district of Wiang Chai, Chiang Rai, northern Thailand were examining a mysterious sinkhole that has appeared in a field used to rear fish.

 

The hole is about 5 m in radius and is now full of water and fish that have been sucked below.

 

In total about 3 rai or 1,200 square wah of land was drained via the hole killing 10,000 fish that simply disappeared.

The hole is also getting bigger from a previous size of just 2-3 meters.

 

Superstitious locals are worried about the hole suggesting that it is a portent of doom.

 

Local official Khemphat Heranya was on the scene in an effort to discover what forces were at work.

Seems fishy to me. The BiB will carp on continuously but will flounder trying to find an answer.

Don't worry the BIB will be claiming that they are casting their nets far and wide and will not get a single nibble!

From where was the water which filled the fishpond abstracted? If a borehole was drilled and underground water pumped up from below the water has decided to go back where it came from.

The sinkhole was 5 metres in radius which is 10 metres diameter, then it was getting bigger than the original size of 2 - 3 metres?
