Fishing In Thailand.

[Darren Cook]

Hi, I'm heading to Thailand in mid march for a month and interested in doing a charter or 2.
Does anyone have any suggestions on good destinations and charters over there?

I'm not planning on taking a heap of gear......maybe a reel and some poppers/jigs , perhaps pick up a rod there or use a charter supplied rod.

Keen to chase GT's or jig for whatever but fairly flexible. Would just like to fish some different waters.

Any clues on charter costs there, like reasonable, expensive or what?

Any help would be appreciated. I'll be basesd in Bangkok at the beginning. Thanks for any help.

Hi Darren ,

The best bet is to go n visit khun Jai at 7Seas Proshop in the BSL fishing pond around Bang Kapi ,

Address ;

21/596 Soi Watsuwanpasitbungkum , Sukapiban 1 RD. , Bangkok 10240 . Phone : 02-7347757 .

May need somebody to talk to the taxy driver in Thai language to get you there from Bangkok city center .

for sails, I think Malaysia in Rompin is the go

Darren ,

I second Brandon's choice Rompin - Malaysia as the place to go for popping those sailfish , infact I am going to Rompin again later in the year and this time will try to do the right thing , lost too many sailfish due to mistakes of my own the last time .
