| Description | A fish trap with a long woven tube with one opening. It has a uniform tube shape until 2/3 of the way up to the top. The shape then bulges out and becomes narrow again. There is a pocket-like structure near the bulge. It is placed inside a contraption in a stream to funnel fish into a fish trap which is called a Ton (ต้อน). It is used in paddies. |
