Kane's First Big Fish!
Kane’s First Big Fish!

I have been wanting to go fishing in Chiang Mai, since my friend, Emile, told me about it in Peru.  I was really excited to go!  I caught a 67lb catfish!  We went fishing all day at Bo Sang Fishing Park.  The bait we used was made of rice, peanuts, cake, coconut milk, corn and bread.

When we arrived, my dad caught the first fish then my sister caught the next one.  After that, I caught the next one and it was 50lbs.  It took me 20 minutes to get it in.

First fish of the day! Don't catch them like that in Missouri.

We had lunch which was Cashew Chicken, Thai Omelet and another chicken dish.  I liked the Cashew Chicken.

After lunch, we changed spots on the lake.  We went to the end of the lake.  Right when I casted in I got a big bite and the guide said it was a really big fish.  I was really excited and thought it may be the biggest one of the day and it was.  It took 30 minutes to bring in and it was 67 LBS!

We kept fishing and I caught lots more fish!  I thought it was really fun and our guide, Suivet, from Big Game Fishing was really great.

Giving love at the Dog Shelter in Chiang Mai by Kat 7-25-14

Adorable puppies!

Mommy and I visited a dog shelter in Chiang Mai. It was called “Care for Dogs” shelter.  They have about 200 dogs they are taking care of.  The dogs have been abused.  One dog was beaten by some villagers and thrown into a lake in a bag. My favorite dog there was Flip.  I got to play with the puppies and take a dog for a walk.  The dogs liked playing in nature.  They were really nice and friendly.  They got jealous if you did not pet them.  It was a really fun day, but I felt sad for the dogs(how they were treated before the shelter).  They seemed happy there.
