fishing
 

i know one or two lads on here have been fishing at some of the carp ponds around pattaya and bangkok but i was wondering how much a days fishing costs and where is the best places to go ect
been thinking about seeing chris in the corner bar i know he runs trips to mamms fishing park any help welcome

I'd say that pond Chris runs is for pleasure style fishing. It's a nice little lake, close to travel to and has good facilities for a scoff and beer. Don't know how much it costs per day but it's cheap.

Next up would be the fishing park at Jomtein.
There are some big lumps in there. You hire the tackle and from what I remember it all comes to less than 1000 baht for a day there with food and drink. Fishing is good.

Top of the tree. Bungsumrang near Bangkok.
SERIOUS fishing. World record carp and plenty of lumps.
You need to make a plan to go there. Really a few guys need to share taxi, fishing hut and guide.
It's not a cheap day out.

Fishing for a holiday maker is 1000 baht per day. Ex pat with driving license 400 baht.

Bait will cost you about 300-500 baht.

Fishing hut 1000 baht.

Rod hire 500 baht.

Guide 1000 baht

Food and drink extra.

It's fantastic fishing there. We've had a few Revealed trips. They have been great.

cheers mirky i might give it a go at chris pond when there in sept if i like it will come and play with the big boys as i'm more used to sea fishing from a beach back home but fancy a go seen some good pics of big fish from the likes of yourself and reg
