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.
Bangkok is one of the best places in the world to introduce children to fishing — fast action, exotic species, and no experience required. In this report we take a family group out for a day of guided fishing near Bangkok, putting kids on fish from the very first cast. A great read for anyone planning a family fishing trip in Thailand or looking for a fun, memorable activity during a Bangkok holiday.
" Take Your Kids Fishing"
It was another funfilled day at Pilot 111 with great moments that will be remembered. Anthony is a passionate angler at just the age of 12, JJ, his older brother, who couldn't pass up the chance of catching Giant Snakeheads and their mom, Cynthia were my guests for the day. I must admit that upon meeting the boys I was a little concern about my ability to help them land a fish since this is my first experience guiding such a young guest. In addition to that, they wanted to pick up some pointers about fly fishing!
