Our private and exclusive fishing bungalow is only a 5 minute walk from the car park. Its� traditional Thai style is in keeping with the surrounding nature but also offers modern conveniences such as electricity, running water & a small room ideal for non-angling group members to take a nap. The large staging reaching well over the lake is where the action takes place and where dream fish are hooked, fought & landed.

We have a vast collection of all the necessary fishing tackle, including some ultra-tough rods & reels required for taking on the giant Mekong catfish at Bungsamran. There is no need to bring any fishing tackle with you, our specialist tackle is top of the range and designed for exactly this purpose � but of course, if you have a �lucky� rod, or a �favourite� reel then feel free to bring it along.

We supply all of the baits suitable for any species you wish to target � our �killer mix� of juices and additives has proved to out-fish standard mixes of baits time and time again. Often bait selection & mix is a critically over-looked factor, with our proven bait mixes we not only get you on the fish but also get the fish on your hook!

Our cooler is kept fully stocked with ice and soft drinks all day long for you to drink; it is not safe to be active outside in the heat without having a large supply of liquids. This is a free service and there is no limit � your comfort and safety is our priority.

At midday delicious Thai cuisine is cooked at the local restaurant and delivered directly to your bungalow � at the same time it is quite common to hook a giant catfish just before you get the chance to dig in! This is another totally free service provided by us.

For those die-hard anglers who have managed to endure the pleasure\pain experience of hooking enormous fish, one after another for the entire day � pack up time is 6p.m. A short walk back to the car park where our private minivan awaits you with cold air-conditioning blasting through the cabin will take you back to your hotel with memories to last a lifetime.

Location and Fishing Information

Fishing Thailand - Carp & Catfish Package - Bangkok, Thailand

THE LAKE:-

Bungsamran unquestionably offers the most prolific freshwater fishing in Bangkok, certainly the most prolific freshwater fishing in Thailand, probably the most prolific freshwater fishing in Asia and maybe the most prolific freshwater fishing in the world!

Who would have thought? That right here in Bangkok, sits one of the world�s most prolific freshwater fishing venues. Lurking beneath the murky depths are the world�s largest freshwater species � the giant Mekong catfish, the giant Siamese carp & the arapima all of which grow in excess of 100kg (220lb) at Bungsamran. Bangkok is The City Of Angels for tourists, but for fisherman it is The City Of Giants!

Yet this fishing venue�s whereabouts seems to be Bangkok�s best kept secret, mostly only known by Thai locals. Bangkok is undoubtedly a huge maze of roads, streets & canals networking amongst the diversity of modern offices, wooden houses, ancient temples, markets, street vendors, Thai communities and so much more. Yet this 20 acre lake converted from a swamp 18 years ago, now full of amazing natural beauty and serenity, somehow doesn�t seem out of place.

Certainly the reaction from every single fisherman & non-fisherman alike is firstly scepticism that a lake so peaceful could exist in Bangkok � and even more surprised that the fishing in Bangkok at Bungsamran produces so many enormous fish.

The tranquil & idyllic setting of Bungsamran is situated in the suburban outskirts of Bangkok only 40 minutes from the fast moving city centre. Bungsamran boasts numerous IGFA world records, making it one of the best still water venues in the world.

Bungsamran has depths ranging from 10 to 25 feet. The main features comprise of bungalows, bridges and stages. There are very few underwater features other than the wooden bridge and bungalow supports, though these features alone create a considerable challenge.

Bungsamran alone is a reason to come fishing in Bangkok, the fishing is so prolific & our guides are so experienced that we offers anyone a 50% refund who fails to catch a 30lb plus giant Mekong catfish in a 1 day session. There are not many guides and even less venues that would dare guarantee such a bold statement, so we challenge you to challenge us!

THE FISH:-

The Giant Mekong Catfish is the world�s largest freshwater specie, our venue to target the giant Mekong catfish is Bungsamran, where these incredible fish can be caught all year round. The Bungsamran lake record stands at 100.0kg (220lb), with the average giant Mekong catfish at Bungsamran weighing 30lb. The strength of these average size cats alone is immense, causing grown men to ache, groan and occasionally cry due to a unique mixture of adrenaline, pain & extreme satisfaction. Our regularly guides anglers into the paths of 60lb to 100lb catfish, which when hooked are simply indescribable! The best Mekong catfish our guides have landed is actually the lake record at 100.0kg (220lb).

The giant Mekong catfish & giant Siamese carp are the two most powerful species in Bungsamran which are capable of relieving your spool of line on their first run if the local techniques are not employed quickly. The power of these fish and the pain they put anglers through really can�t be matched by any other freshwater fishing in the world, certainly no other fishing in Bangkok.


Every fish will instinctively use the maze of underwater posts, supports & struts present beneath each bungalow & bridge to their full advantage.

There are special techniques our guides will teach you to dissuade fish from entering these danger zones and the techniques employed for fishing in Bangkok at Bungsamran are unlike any European techniques.

Of course there will be fish that despite our efforts make it into their safe haven, stripping line through a network of submerged bungalow & bridge supports. Usually this would be game over as the line is shredded against the snags, but not when our guides are with you. They will demonstrate & teach you how to coax a fish out using minimal line tension. If this fails then it is time for the guides to get wet! They will simply follow underwater the line until they locate where the fish is laying, then a complicated & highly skilled tactic is employed where by they cut the line above the fish & re-tie it directly to your rod � the battle between you & the fish of your lifetime re-commences!

Photograph Philip Bell-Scott "The best single day's fishing I have had! I had an 89lb Mekong on within minutes of starting fishing. My arms didn't get much of a rest with another 10 or so big Cats coming to the net, with the best being the last fish of the day: a magnificent 95lb Mekong, which provided an epic fight. I'll be back!"
