Thailand

Thailand embraces a rich diversity of cultures and traditions with its proud history, tropical climate, renowned hospitality and its never ending source of fascination and pleasure for anglers and visitors alike. 

From the mountains of Mae Hong Son to the verdant limestone islands of the Andaman Sea. From the pulse-pounding clubs of Bangkok to tranquil villages along the River Mekong. Where else can you cruise on a converted rice barge; roar up river in a long-tailed boat; take a white knuckle ride on a bamboo raft; do battle with giant Mekong Catfish or stay in jungle tree houses as guests in the homes of hill tribe villagers, sampling the exotic tastes of Thai cuisine? Bangkok, Thailand’s capital isn’t just for culture though, it’s also a shoppers' paradise! There's a great variety of shopping, from bustling open-air markets, street stalls and local shops to western style department stores and up market specialist shops with traditional handicrafts, beautifully designed clothing, jewellery, leather, cotton Batik, Thai silk, handicrafts and much more. 

For those seeking pure relaxation, Thailand’s coastline and islands are heavenly destinations teeming with natural attractions including white sandy beaches, fascinating coral reefs, numerous large and small islands, verdant forests with caves and waterfalls. At these stunning locations you will find activities to suit everyone from swimming, snorkelling, diving and sailing etc, or, alternatively, just doing what Thailand is equally famous for, relaxing. Thailand is now also becoming famous as a destination to catch not only huge traditional species like the Mekong Catfish and Siamese Carp, but also amazing Amazon species with likes of Arapaima, Redtail Catfish plus many many more. Fishing is a mixture of methods, bait fishing with local pastes, live bait fishing for mighty predators and for the real sportsman real lure and fly fishing for fish to record sizes.
