Villagers perform a ceremony
to celebrate the opening of sluice gates at Pak Moon dam after
a long delay. Pak Moon villagers won permission from the government
to open all eight sluice gates for four months to gauge environmental
impact from the free flow of the river.

abandoned fishing gear, and people's smiles, are starting to

and carry on the tradition?
