(Baonghean.vn)- In the spring, when the weather is warm, the Thai people in Western Nghe An also enter the season of casting nets and catching fish. Along the rivers and streams, people go out as if they are going to a festival..

| Fishing nets are considered an indispensable item for Thai men. With the characteristic of living along streams, almost every Thai family owns a fishing net. Some families own from 5 to 10 fishing nets. |
 |
| Nets can be woven with fishing line or parachute cord. At the foot of the nets are attached weights (can be made of lead or iron, steel...) to pull the net into the water quickly to catch fish. Photo: Ho Phuong. |

| Apart from flood season, spring is considered “fishing season”. During these days, people often invite each other to go fishing on the rivers. Photo: Ho Phuong. |
