Siam: Nai Dit Trapped a Mongoose

Siam: Nai Dit Trapped a Mongoose

Kenneth explains that their cook, Nai Dit, took a day off to build a huge trap to catch a mongoose that was coming into the kitchen at night to eat the food. Kenneth was pessimistic that the huge and complex trap was going to catch anything, but it did. It took the cook another day to take the trap down.
