samran Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Ah, so you found where the aliens hide when they visit earth. Actually, they are squid boats. The green fluorescent light attracts the squid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not only Thailand and not only Squid. There are other areas and other types of commercially viable fishing products. Someone once told me that in areas off Mexico they use light to attract Octopus to come to the service at night where they can be caught and sold later. I don't know the exact details but I believe there are many species of small fish that come to the surface to spawn in certain times of the year if the water is calm and the Moon is full. I believe this technique is also used for those that have commercial value. Not only on the ocean either, from what I'm told, the same idea works on large freshwater lakes.

Thainess Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The really surprising thing about this photo is that the lights in Bangkok are white. After all, it's a giant red light district! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
