Fishing Holiday Thailand

Thailand’s northern province of Chiang mai provides the fisherman with plenty of opportunities for freshwater fishing be it with bait, spinners or flies. The province has numerous secluded fishing lakes and reservoirs, well-stocked with Giant Siamese carp and Giant catfish species. Fishing in Chiang mai’s lush scenery for Giant snakehead and Jungle perch is a truly rewarding experience.

For many anglers, catfish fishing in Thailand – even smaller catfish species - are way bigger than most fish they have caught before. A day catfish fishing in Chiang mai at a Thai fishing park can produce up to 30 or more catches in a day (average 15-50kg (33lb-110lb)) of the world’s largest catfish the Giant Mekong catfish (Pangasianodon gigas) and the Striped catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) among other species

There are a great many lakes and rivers ideal for fishing throughout the Chiang Mai area. Surely the exquisite scenery, balmy climate and easy culture make Thailand one of the foremost destinations for the serious angler. Certainly, given the incredibly affordable house prices it is no wonder that many anglers decide to make their home here.

Thailand is a tropical country so waters are warm which means some really interesting and exotic tropical fish. There are hundreds of fish species in Thailand’s waters which range in size from tiny goby’s of 3cm like the Glass goby upto what some believe to be the largest freshwater fish in the world the Giant freshwater stingray which can grow to over 300kg (661lb).

Thailand is home to some of the world’s largest carp species. In fact the Giant Siamese carp (Catlocarpio siamensis) is the largest of all carp species in the world and has been reported at 300kg (661lb) a catch that if it had been scientifically recorded could weigh the species in as the confirmed second largest freshwater fish in the world.
