The Chao Phraya River runs through the center of the Thai capital and is a busy waterway.

Close to Wat Worachanyawas and Central Pier he reached the river and walked down a little pier that jutted out into the water and it was unusually busy. Everyone there it seemed had bought a large bowl of fish food and where casting it out into the river. He looked down and there they were... hundreds upon hundreds of Chao Phraya Catfish or Pla Tepa as they are know locally and Pangasius sanitwongse in the Latin.

The Chao Phraya Catfish is a freshwater fish that can grow up to 100cm in length and is a member of the shark catfish family. It's a native species of the mighty Mekong River and the Chao Phraya River and is white to grey in colour with black tips on it's elongated fins.
