Marilyn's Photos - Nov 15 2025 - Eating with the Swimming Fish
There’s a story that shows a flooded restaurant in Thailand with the water up to people’s knees and below the surface there are fish swimming around - lots of them. This happened with a damn breach a few days ago. It is popular news now with murky water filled with fish inside the restaurant.
It turns out the restaurant was first flooded four years ago, and fish showed up. The novelty attracted many new customers. Ii don’t know what happened in between time, but this time, the restaurant is packed with people enjoying the nibbling at their toes.
How common is this? There are other articles with koi fish swimming about in a cafe. These look like more decorative fish. There’s a 2024 facebook post from the Red Dwarf Fan Club showing a different restaurant with fish swimming around the tables. There are others with fish pools separate from the diners.
The flooded restaurant video shows everyone is in the flood - the kitchen staff cooking, the waiters, the eaters. The water is murky and the fish aren’t particularly clear in the pictures. My cynical view says that every news outlet included this story because it means “clicks” and that gives them advertising revenue.
One of those human-interest stories that just gets our attention.
Here are the koi at the Marie Selby Botanical Garden in Florida. They look friendly and fun. We can understand the appeal.
