    I pray that the people of Thailand and their governing bodies do everything they can to protect this area and keep it as wild as possible. So much has been lost on this planet already...what a gorgeous and important area. Thank you for sharing.

    This has got to be the most stunning video on Thai ecosystems and fishes that I have ever seen. Speaking as an aquarist, fish biologist and a diver, the content and presentation are some of the best quality I have come across on UA-cam. It is good to know that Betta simplex is surviving in the karst streams, and I sincerely hope that it gets the protection it deserves. Shame to see the Nile tilapia in these waters.
    One item that caught my attention was the single specimen of the sparkling gourami (Trichopsis pumilus) at 5:20. I have kept and bred many sparkling gouramis in my career but none have displayed the striped pattern as this one did. I am inclined to believe this may be a different species (Trichopsis vittata, the croaking gourami) which posseses a similar striped pattern, or a variant native to that particular habitat. Either way it is good to see it in its natural habitat.
    Brilliant work, Rodrigo. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future. Thank you for posting.

    How beautifully this was shot and written. Freshwater ecosystems are the most understudied among the three general types (other two being terrestrial and marine). I prefer marine but this just gave me a profound appreciation to our freshwater ecosystems. It made me fall in love with the place from the breathtaking shots of the springs to how it connected to mangrove forests, coupled with the showcase of unique fauna.
    What you are doing here is raising awareness to areas in need of protection. legally and ecologically. I for one will discuss this with my peers. Thank you very much!
