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.
Arapaima Fishing in Thailand
One of the most sought after fish for those coming to Thailand, Arapaima is certainly one of the most exciting fish to catch and at Bangkok Fishing Guide Service, we try our best to get you one. Available at most fishing locations, the Arapaima is certainly the main attraction for every location but the difficulty level is very different. These large creatures are extremely smart and they adapt to the various fishing methods thrown at them. While most locations offers bait fishing for these fish, there is also a location that allows us to cast lures which is also very effective.
Here are a few pictures of Arapaima caught by out clients from the past few months.
