We had 2 great days of fishing first day lake had risen by one foot and we still managed to fish. Only a couple of bungalows were accessable due to floods. We caught many mekong catfish and striped... More

Guaranteed huge catch - fishing lake, 45 minutes from Sukhumvit Bungsamran Fishing Park stands out as unique in Bangkok for me due the guarantee of catching a huge specimen when supported by a local guide. Set within a man made environment which tries its best to camouflage the surrounding suburbs offering a relaxed retreat which is very often disturbed by... More

Although you can arrange your fishing here through a number of firms we chose www.fishsiam.com, mainly because of their website initially. The firm is jointly owned by a brit, Rick, and a Thai whose best known as "Boy". Our booking deatil was taken by Rick who was great, and the fishing was sorted out by Boy, who is probably the...

What a day! My girlfriend and I decided to visit this lake independently, it only cost 150 baht to get there from our hotel and 5000 baht for us both to fish for the whole day-9am-9pm. The cheapest trip we found to go with a group was 5500 baht per person. I decided to fish for Siamese carp and my... More

I think for the amount of action and the intensity of fishing a fresh water fish, this is a one of a kind activity anywhere. One of the most fantastic thing is that it is only 1 hour or so drive from bangkok city so you can pack in a full day activity without wasting travel time. Here are some... More

Bung Sam Lan Lake is quite possibly the most unique fishery on the planet. This amazing fishing venue, currently holding 10 IGFA world records, is tucked away down a very inconspicuous and sleepy soi (side street), away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok life. When you first role up to the entrance of this fishing paradise you could be... More
