Thailand is one of the most extraordinary freshwater fishing destinations on earth — and the species list is the reason why. Nowhere else in the world can you walk up to a lake and realistically target an Arapaima the size of a man, a Giant Mekong Catfish that could fill a bathtub, a hard-charging Amazon Redtail Catfish, and a surface-smashing Giant Snakehead all in the same day. Bangkok's fishing parks and wild reservoirs hold an incredible mix of native Thai giants and exotic imported species that draw serious anglers from every corner of the globe. Whether you have one day or one week, a target species in mind or just an appetite for something extraordinary — Thailand will deliver. Here's what's waiting for you.
Amazon BKK




High on every angler's bucket list is the mighty Arapaima and it is perhaps the most sought after fish for anglers visiting Thailand. Amazon BKK offers the best chance of catching one if you are able to fish with lures. The density of the amount of Arapaima is just mind boggling and you are bound to get one. However, the lake is quite difficult to fish and the catch rate may not be as high. Common species that are caught on a daily basis includes: Arapaima, Amazon Redtail Catfish, Alligator Gar, Chaopraya Catfish and Giant Snakehead. Other known catches but more rare includes Pacu, Wallago Leeri, Asian Redtail Catfish, Atlantic Tarpon and Giant Freshwater Stingray.
Fishing at this lake is moderately hard which requires a somewhat advance casting and lure presentation skills.
