A 20-year-old fisherman in Thailand has reeled in something that might just make him a millionaire.
Chalermchai Mahapan was fishing for a mullet at the Samila Beach in Songkhla on 6 January when he managed to reel in something much more valuable.
Mahapan caught a 7-kilogram blob of waxy whale vomit that could be worth a whopping £1,71,000 (Rs 1.7 crore).
According to reports, the 20-year-old fisherman was about to finish his fishing day due to change in weather and had returned to dock his boat. That s when he caught the precious lump of ambergris.
