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.
Casting Clinic
As a part of my efforts to promote fishing, I have been getting the opportunity to work with individuals that are new to fishing. So far it has not been a disappointment with every one catching multiple fish while perfecting their casting skills as well as lure presentation. My preferred choice of fish that is perfect for new anglers for lure fishing in Thailand is the Barramundi. They are ferocious predators that takes a lure all day long but lure presentation is an important aspect when assessing the fishing conditions. New anglers would learn the different techniques of lure fishing and how to assess the affects of the climate to the way fish are biting.
