  • Giant Mekong Catfish Fishing Thailand

    Giant Mekong Catfish Fishing Thailand

    9 days / 4 days fishing
    Normally, you would not associate the land of giants to any Asian country. You typically associate that to Africa, with animals like the elephant and the rhinoceros. However, you do not find giants in Asia on land; you find them in the water. Bung Sam Lan, just outside Bangkok, is one of the most extraordinary and famous fisheries in the world. It is a lake of about twenty acres and was converted seventeen years ago from a swamp. It is stocked with a huge variety of native Thai and imported fish: Giant Mekong Catfish to 100 kg, Striped Catfish to 15 kg, Chaophraya Giant Catfish to 30 kg, Giant Siamese Carp to 100 kg and Amazonian Arapaima from to 200 kg.

The benefits are there will be more than enough room for you to be able to move around as you wish. Second, all customer will have the full use of 3 rods per day instead of the normal 2. (3rd rod is normally charged at 1000bht per day but on this exclusive trip is FREE, allowing you to catch more fish. Third, book 2 weeks back to back and you will receive one nights accommodation and one days fishing Free of charge. Fourth, as if you need any more reasons, however as the lake will be EXCLUSIVE we can alter the fishing times to suit the fishing and weather conditions at both Dave’s and Stuarts discretion. What does this mean? If the fish are feeding better latter in the day we can change the start and finish times to give you more fishing time latter in the day, resulting in more caught fish. To sum up, there has never been a better time to fish the famous Gillhams resort. More room, more rods, flexible fishing hours, cracking deal, all resulting in more caught fish.
