Re-discovery of Lost Treasure Collection

Back in my hometown in Thailand, there is a river that supports the livelihood of the townspeople and is essential to our survival. It’s incredible how one river can provide so much food and joy, helping everyone and every species thrive and live in harmony.

I still remember one of my favorite fishes from this river. My grandma would grill it over charcoal or make fish soup, and whatever she made was always so unforgettable. Looking back now, it wasn't just about the type of fish, but rather the special moments spent with my grandma that made the meals so joyful. I can imagine other households, with grandmothers and grandchildren, sharing similar moments.

Who would have thought a river could play such a significant role in creating small yet lasting memories.
