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.
The Italian Job by bkkfishingguide
In an equally spontaneous moment, the day after Bungsamran, I received a call from Alex saynig that they want to go for some barramundi action! Seems like the boys are hooked! Without hesitation, I knew the boys are going to be thrilled going after some big barramundis at our private pond and the plan was formulated quickly.
"The Italian Job"
The most spontaneous and short notice planned trip that I have ever experienced and not only once - but twice! One phone call set up a day at Bungsamran and it was great fun. For this trip we have Alex who wants to introduce his sons, Frankie and Victor, to the world of fishing. I am please to say that he picked a great venue to get the boys to be hooked on fishing. One of the things I love about bringing guests to Bungsamran is the look on their face when a Giant Mekong Catfish surfaces for them to see. It is a priceless moment in itself but to be a part of a father-son fishing bonding trip was equally special.
