Why book through us?
In a word, service! Siam Fishing Tours will facilitate the smooth running of your trip in the following ways:-
Bungsamran has become a Mecca for the global specimen hunter due to the fact it contains several of the worlds largest Freshwater Species including:-
The Siamese Giant Carp is many carp anglers dream catch.
With weights known to exceed 150kg/330LB, this
species has been named by some as “The mother of all Carp”.
In July 2007 Bungsamran’s lake record was smashed once again with a
120kg+/264LB+ specimen caught by one of the local guides, the first time this
fish has been seen since it was stocked some 23yrs ago. There are several thousand
Siamese Carp in Bungsamran, and a large number of
these exceed the 46kg/100LB mark. Where else in the world can you stand a
realistic chance of hooking into a 46kg/100LB+ Carp?
The Giant Mekong Catfish well known throughout South
East Asia as a great freshwater sport fish, it will offer the angler
an incredible battle even on heavy game fishing gear. For the local
angler this fish is targeted for the western equivalent of match
fishing, with competitions in many fishing parks for the most fish
caught, but also for the heaviest or closest to a particular weight.
The western angler though will likely see this species once again as
an opportunity to take a 100LB specimen or personal best, which is very
possible if not likely within the context of a weeks fishing holiday, but if
you’re a match fisherman, then perhaps you might like the challenge
of catching 500KG of fish or over a 1000LB of fish in a single day?
Once again this is entirely possible at Bungsamran.
Bungsamran currently holds 12 IGFA World Records, but perhaps more importantly, Bungsamran is proud to be the venue that produces more “personal bests” in terms of an anglers biggest fish or most fish caught by number or weight in a single days fishing, than probably any other venue in the world. The average size of the Catfish in Bungsamran are 15kg to 25kg, with the largest specimens exceeding 185kg/407LB.
As well as Bungsamran‘s Carp and Catfish, the fishing in Thailand offers the keen international sports fisherman a wealth of angling opportunities, both in target species, and venues, both in Saltwater and Freshwater, Siam Fishing Tours have access to nearly every guiding service, fishing venue and game boat in Thailand, enabling us to create a completely tailored fishing holiday for you, co-ordinating guides, transport, venues, and accommodation at your onward destinations whether that be a fishing hut on Khao Lam Dam or a luxury hotel in Phuket, we can take care of your every need, including organising excursions for non-angling family and friends.
