Namnow NP. situated on Phetchaboon mountain range that divided central plain with the Korat plateau, in effect, divided Choa Phraya Riv. besin with Me Kong besin. It is there for quite fun to just cross the mountain to find two different set of fish. Anyway, this time, we concentrated on Me Kong part, which offer a little more interesting fishes for us, who live in central plain.

Wonderful pics, Nonn! 8) The Serpenticobitis are really special, and it's great to see the skunks, Acantopsis and Crossocheilus in their natural habitat. Such a beautiful place.

Nonn,
Do you hold your breath for these? Snorkel? Extra weight?
I can't stay still enough for sneaky macro-photos like these without a SCUBA tank and 20Lbs of extra lead, even in 10" of water.
Beautiful shots, beautiful animals, beautiful spot.

We used snorkle mostly. Some picture we have to hold our breath to take the shot, but mostly, these fish are in shallow water.
