So, after settling the matters, Lin Yang and his two companions returned to Jiangdong City.
In the days following their return, besides catching up with so old friends, Lin Yang didn’t go fishing again.
Racing around often was truly tiring.
.....
Ti flew by, and a week passed quickly.
By then, the club had sent news that their Thailand trip had been arranged, and they were now ready to depart.
Although Lin Yang was one of the shareholders of the club, he wasn’t responsible for its operations, he rely played the roles of a spokesperson and a silent partner.
The itinerary was entirely arranged by the club.
This trip to Thailand also included Lin Yang, Yue’er, and Li Xiaopeng, just the three of them again.
Under the company’s arrangent, they boarded a plane to Thailand early the next day.
In addition to fishing, they also planned to thoroughly enjoy themselves in Thailand this ti.
After flying for about five hours, the trio landed at Bangkok Airport, where they were greeted by their tour guide, this ti a female guide.
The female guide was well aware of Lin Yang’s status and knew that their clients weren’t ordinary tourists, so she was very attentive and imdiately briefed Lin Yang on the itinerary for their stay in Thailand.
This included introducing so of Thailand’s attractions and the various fish species they could catch.
Among the fish species ntioned by the female guide, so were unknown to Yue’er, and even Lin Yang was hearing about them for the first ti.
"Two-ter-long Crucian Carp? Are you serious?"
When Li Xiaopeng heard about the two-ter-long Crucian Carp from the guide, he was deeply skeptical.
The largest Crucian Carp he had seen in his country weighed just about a kilo or two, a two-ter-long one seed highly exaggerated!
"It’s true, there are photos, let find them."
Seeing the disbelief on Lin Yang and others’ faces, the female guide searched for the photos while responding to other questions.
"Found it, take a look!"
Li Xiaopeng was shocked as soon as he saw the photo. The gigantic fish in the picture wasn’t the exaggerated two ters, but it certainly was more than a ter long, and it looked like a Crucian Carp that had been enlarged many tis.
With the world being so vast, encountering strange species was quite normal; after their initial shock, they accepted it.
Such a large fish, although not as massive as so giants Lin Yang had shown in his social circle, wasn’t far off. Having fished in the sea for so long, Lin Yang thought it wouldn’t be bad to try river fishing for big fish.
After learning about the specifics of their Thailand trip, they were soon off to their first destination in Thailand, Qingsheng Town.
Qingsheng Town, located in Chiang Rai City near Bangkok and roughly six to seven hundred kiloters away, was just an hour and a half by plane.
After alighting in Chiang Rai, their female guide efficiently hailed a car and took them to Qingsheng Town.
A Thai town nestled by the kong River.
They first went to the hotel to drop off their luggage and then followed the guide to the kong River.
"This is the kong River. The river is abundant in fish species, not only with two-ter-long giant Crucian Carp but also prawns as big as an arm and giant Catfish...."
The guide brought them to a roughly six to seven-ter-long small fishing boat and began the introduction.
"This giant Crucian Carp is unique to the kong, known as the giant Siase carp, which can grow up to about three ters. If you’re lucky to encounter one, it will create a real challenge."
The female guide, knowing that Lin Yang had a fishing expedition scheduled, specifically explained this.
"Being able to catch a three-ter-long giant Crucian Carp is definitely sothing to look forward to."
Lin Yang had never seen such a large Crucian Carp and was quite excited about the prospect.
Although in comparison, the strength of freshwater fish is less than that of saltwater fish, size makes up for it—thinking about landing such a massive creature was thrilling.
"Sawasdee ka~"
As the group approached the fishing boat, the boatman ca over to greet them, and the guide chatted with him in a flurry of words.
"Everyone, please board the boat. The scenery along the kong River is lovely; you can fish while enjoying the views along the way."
The group, having no objections, boarded the fishing boat, which was equipped with six sets of fishing rods. Lin Yang quickly recognized them as those tough, incredibly heavy fiberglass sea rods.
As for the scenery, sorry, Lin Yang really couldn’t see what was so scenic about it; the river was muddy and yellowish, nearly matching the Yellow River in color, although the kong’s current was less fierce, more gentle.
Along the banks, there were sparse and ordinary flowers, plants, and trees, but diagonally across, there was a pretty cluster of houses, which made one curious about its purpose.
"Over there is an economic zone in Laos. If you are interested, you can go directly there to visit.... That over there is Myanmar, nothing much worth seeing."
As the fishing boat sailed into the kong River, the guide began to introduce so of the surrounding areas.
Not far away was a river fork dividing the land into three parts: one side Thailand, another Laos, and the last Myanmar.
"Is this the famous Golden Triangle?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yang finally understood where they were.
"Yes, but this area has improved over the years and isn’t as chaotic as before, at least on the Thai side it’s quite safe."
Noticing sothing amiss in Lin Yang’s reference to the "famous" na, the female guide quickly clarified.
"Hmm...."
Lin Yang nodded and said nothing, falling silent for a mont.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the infamous kong Massacre took place nearby.
Sigh, he hoped for a strong country and well-being for its citizens.
