The New World Mall located in Bangkok, Thailand was forced to close because of safety violations in 1997 and is inhabited since then…Well almost!
In 1999, a fire destroyed the building, water engulfed and flooded the basement. Moskitoes started to develop rapidly. Fearing diseases, locals found a mind-blowing idea to kill these beasts.
What are actually the best prays against water insects? Birds? No FISH… And locals decided to introduce koi fish.
As shown in the following pictures and videos, fish not only ate and killed the bugs, but they took on a life of their own.
Now hundreds of fish are unexpectedly and quietly living in this once mosquito infested water!
A unique, thriving, and unexpected urban fish habitat.
