So fishing in Thailand has been on the list for a while now I know that gillhams is the in place and expensive as fook so no intrest in that place.so been looking for alternatives but what I'm finding is there around £250ish a day.so was wondering if any of you lads have been or have any recommendations please and cost etc.not bothered about the night scene or anything this is purely a fishing trip

Tight lines, your going to enjoy yourself, when I first fished bungsamran the lake that started Thailands big fish craze 20+ years ago it was an eye opener, if you have spare time and your at a loose end in Bangkok may I suggest boon mar barramundi ponds?

Just smashed off the red tails yesterday 10 red tails and 1 carp I wish was the other way round but they put a decent bend in the rod and decent fight

Depends what you want. I used to have a word with the lads who took tourists out to the islands and would fish while the boat waited to bring them back.

Would catch fish and have them barbecued on the the boat. Nothing huge but caught plenty , and back then just paid around 100-200 baht, next to nothing, doubtless it will cost more now, but a bit different to fishing the specimen lakes.

Cheers.

That's about £160, things have got a lot more expensive since I spent time there, but to be fair, it's worth it for the experience and memories. Enjoy it

Cheers.

Yea mate it's on the dear end but that's just because of the fish and demand I suppose on the otherside of things gilhams over here wanted 2and half grand for week thats with accommodation and that was with bit of discount can still get cheaper fishing but I was after the carp but id defo recommend the place like you say the experience and memories but ill be going back next year!!

Thai's fish bungsamran 2 for a 10'th of the price of a foreigner I think? Before freshwater lakes were a big thing amongst western anglers the original bungsamran that started the craze off was £15? Quid? 

[mackem 26,333]

I knew the old grey matter wasn't failing me, yup Thai fish for a tenth of the price, welcome to asia
