Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia and is a popular destination amongst tourists and travellers; famed for its tropical beaches, royal palaces, ancient ruins, and ornate temples, but for anglers, it’s renowned for its fantastic freshwater fishing opportunities, for an array of species, that grow to epic proportions – some of the largest in the world.
With such a wealth of fishing opportunities on offer, we’ve teamed up with our partner, Francois of Thailand Fishing Adventures, to offer an exclusive multi-lake, multi-species trip, providing travelling anglers with the chance to experience a flavour of what the country has to offer. Based in the magnificent city of Bangkok, the trip ventures to four different lakes in and around the capital, including a visit to some of the most famous waters in Thailand. From the commercial-style fishery of Bung Sam Lan Lake targeting the giant Mekong Catfish to Bang Na Lake lure fishing for Giant Snakehead to the wilder, unknown waters of Nakorn Chai Si Lake targeting an array of carp species.
This trip caters to both novices and well-travelled anglers and is fully guided by Francois and his team, one of the country’s most respected and knowledgeable guides. It will tick all the boxes if you’re looking for an authentic Thai travel and fishing experience.
As the tour name suggests, this trip allows anglers to fish in various lakes in and around Bangkok, travelling up to a couple of hours each morning to different venues to sample some of the fishing delights Thailand offers.
Depending on your preferred fishing style, target species and the experience you want to enjoy, we can tailor the trip to suit your needs; however, these are the lakes in our standard package.
Without a doubt, Bung Sam Lan is one of the most famous lakes in all of Thailand, 139,000 Square meters in size and with depths of up to 50m; it’s also the most significant commercial fishing park in the country. Home to more than forty species, it’s famous for its Giant Siamese Carp that grow to over 160kg and giant Mekong Catfish of over 200kg.
Located outside Bangkok and a dedicated lure/fly and live/dead bait water Kampaeng Sen Lake is the ideal water to target Arapaima, as it features one of the most significant stocked populations in the country. Fishing for these jungle predators that reach over 100kg can be challenging but exceptionally rewarding. As well as Arapaima, the lake is also home to a good number of Redtail Catfish, Chaophraya Giant Catfish, plus rare species like the Wallago Leeri and Hemibagrus Wyckioides.
A slightly more unknown entity than either of the lakes above, Nakorn Chai Si is less pressured and offers a somewhat more wild fishing experience. This deep lake is perfect for float fishing and ledgering and allows anglers to target an array of carp species, like the Siamese Giant Carp, Catla Carp, Bighead Carp, plus the Mekong and Striped Catfish. Due to the lake’s depths, these resident species are known for fighting extra hard.
Depending on what you want to catch, Bang Pakong and Bang Na Lake offer an exciting lure fishing experience, the former for Barramundi, whilst the latter for Giant Snakehead.
To learn more about our multi-lake and multi-species fishing tour in Thailand with our guide Francios, visit our YouTube channel.
Our multi-lake trip allows you to fish for a vast range of species, including many Thai favourites, like the Mekong Catfish and Siamese Giant Carp, along with a whole host of weird and wonderful creatures, like Snakehead, Aligator Gar, Rohu and Java Barbs.
The Mekong Catfish are one of the biggest freshwater fish globally and are considered the true heavyweight champions. In fact, in 2005, they held a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest freshwater fish ever recorded, with a nine-foot-long individual caught in northern Thailand weighing in at an astounding 646lb. Thanks to the stocking in places like Bung Sam Lan, anglers can battle with this unique species.
The Siamese Carp, also known as the Giant Barb, is the largest member of the Cyprinidae Carp family, and the largest ever caught by an angler was a specimen of 232lb, although they average between 50lb to 100lb. They are the juggernauts of the freshwater world and a species on every self-respecting freshwater angler hit list. With their size comes immense power that will leave the angler feeling battered and bruised but almost definitely wanting more and more.
The awe-inspiring Pirarucu, or Arapaima as it’s known, is the largest scaled freshwater fish globally and can reach weights approaching 400lb and lengths of almost three metres. Originally indigenous to Brazil, Peru, Colombia and several other countries in the Amazon basin, the fish is now present in Thailand after being stocked by enterprising fish farmers.
While the three species above are often considered the most sought-after, other popular species, include the colourful ultra-aggressive Snakehead, hard-fighting Redtail Catfish and prehistoric Aligator Gar.
The species you are fishing for will dictate the tackle and methods you use; however, the main styles are either lure or fly fishing and ledgering or float fishing. All bait fishing usually gets done with a mixture of different bread, powdered and ground, crabs, prawns, worms, and live and dead fish. Lures tend to be a mixture of Topwater Frogs, Buzz Baits, Spinner Baits, Chatter Baits and Crank Baits, while fly-wise, anything big and bright will usually work. All tackle and bait are included for the duration of your trip to complement the waterway and fish you’re fishing for. One of the popular aspects of this trip is that you will usually get the chance to fish in all the ways mentioned above, for many different species, making no two days the same and an exciting fishing experience.
Our guide, Francois and his guiding team will always be on hand to help with every aspect of the trip, from the transfers to the fishing and tackle to recommending a restaurant for you to eat at each night. Francois has been living and working in Thailand for nearly forty years and is a former International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) Committee Representative for the country. For seven years, from 2005 to 2012, he was featured in the IGFA Top 10 list, which recognises the very best anglers and professional captains/guides around the world, and the IGFA named him the world’s top captain/guide for 2011. His record speaks for itself, gaining no less than 274 IGFA World Records as a guide and professional angler.
The accommodation for our multi-lake, multi-species trip to Thailand is the Citichic Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Bangkok, around an array of amenities, including central banks, shopping centres, embassies and bustling entertainment areas.
It’s the perfect location to use as the base for your trip; it offers easy access to all the significant roadways and even the ultra-modern sky train, making getting around this colourful city and to the different lakes you fish a doddle. It’s also the local hotel for our guide Francois, meaning he can be on hand in a matter of minutes if you need anything.
Boasting colourful furnishings and modern interiors, the superior rooms at the Citichic feature polished wooden flooring and glass-walled bathrooms. Each gets equipped with a flat-screen TV, tea/coffee-making facilities, free WiFi, and selected rooms with private terraces.
The hotel also features a rooftop swimming pool, offering views of Bangkok’s skyline.
The Citichic Hotel is room only and doesn’t include food or drinks. We recommend you grab your breakfast from the local mini-mart or a rest stop on the way to your designated fishing lake. All breakfasts at all hotels in Thailand get served from 6.30 am; however, our guide Francois will pick you up at that time, one to maximise your fishing day and two, to avoid the worst of the traffic in Bangkok. The journeys to each lake vary but are between one and two hours away.
For evening meals, our guide Francois can recommend some lovely restaurants to eat at, depending on what you’re looking for, with everything from traditional, authentic Thai food to European dishes.
The below itinerary is flexible should you require additional fishing days or additional free days to explore; we can tailor this itinerary to suit you personally. Feel free to talk to our travel consultants who can explain all options available.
Depart Any international Airport (See Details)
Arrive Bangkok
Once you have arrived and collected your luggage, you will need to make your way to the Arrivals Hall, until you reach door number 3 (located close to the Tourism Authority of Thailand information booth), where your transfer will be waiting with a sign with the lead booker’s name on it. You will then be escorted to your transfer which will drive you the short distance to your first hotel. Once you have checked in, you can either relax in your room or go out and explore.
Overnight accommodation: Citichic Hotel Bangkok (Room Only)
At 6.30 am sharp, you will be picked up for a private transfer to Bung Sam Lan Lake. This is a fully guided day’s fishing, and your guide will have all the tackle ready for you to bait up and make your first cast. You will fish mainly for Mekong Giant Catfish, Striped Catfish and Siamese Giant Carp. There is also an opportunity for those who wish to target with ‘secret’ baits, Amazonian species such as Pacu and Tambaqui.
Overnight accommodation: Citichic Hotel Bangkok (Room Only)
At 6.30 am, you will be transferred from your hotel to Kampaeng Sen Lake for your next two fishing days. The rules of the lake established by its owner are lure fishing in the morning and bottom fishing with live or dead fish in the afternoon. Your guide will once again do everything for you to optimise your fishing conditions and success. The main species you will be targeting are, above all, the Arapaima aka Pirarucu, the giant Amazonian predator whose largest specimens caught to date at this lake weigh in at over 200 pounds; the hyper-powerful and combative Redtail Catfish and Chaophraya Fiant Catfish, the half-fish half-saurian Alligator Gar which seems coming out of the movie ‘Men In Black’, and many other native and introduced species such as the rare Wallago Leeri or Hemibagrus Wyckioides.
Overnight accommodation: Ton Po Resort Bangkok (Single room & Buffet Breakfast.)
At 6.30 am sharp, you will be transferred from your hotel to Nakorn Chai Lake for your fourth full day of fishing. The guide will organise all your gear involving float fishing and ledgering. This lake, almost unknown to local fishermen because of its extreme depth, provides more combative fish than anywhere else in Thailand, among those: Mekong Giant Catfish, Striped Catfish, Siamese Giant Carp, Catla Carp, Bighead Carp, Rohu and Java Barb, to mention just a few.
Overnight accommodation: Citichic Hotel Bangkok (Room Only)
At 6.30 am sharp, our guide will pick you up and transfer you – depending on your choice – to either the Bang Pakong Lake, where you will be lure fishing for Barramundi or the Bang Na Lake, where you will be lure fishing for Giant Snakehead. After fishing, you will be transferred back to Bangkok by private car.
Overnight accommodation: Citichic Hotel Bangkok (Room Only)
At 6:00 sharp, our guide will pick you up and transfer you for your last day at Bung Sam Lan Lake. Depending on your catches captured during your 1st day of fishing at this lake, your guide will focus this 2nd session on the species you prefer to catch or those missing from your catch list.
Overnight accommodation: Citichic Hotel Bangkok (Room Only)
A free day to rest after unforgettable fights with Thai fish of gigantic size, shop for gifts to bring back to your loved ones, or explore the wonderful city of Bangkok and its famous marches, large shopping centres, temples and other interesting sites.
Overnight accommodation: Citichic Hotel Bangkok (Room Only)
At a prearranged time, you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred back to Bangkok International Airport for your return flight.

Prices are based on two adults sharing transfers, fishing and staying in single rooms for accommodation (unless otherwise stated) and are correct at the time of going to press. Subject to time of year or date and currency fluctuations, these prices may fluctuate slightly due to flight price increases or fuel surcharge.
Excellent local knowledge and being able to talk the talk - John Francois is an excellent guide to support and advise in all areas besides his obvious fishing skills.
Good quality thai guides who understood various fishing techniques (Noi & Kik) - embraced change particularly when Robbie decided to try float fishing for the carp which proved to be more successful and more fun than the traditional thai method.
Hi Tim glad to see you had a great time, but to be fair we only ever get great reports about Francois and his guides.
They are great guides and great fun to fish with. They make everything interesting.
Please send me some pictures and I will look forward in calling you for the full story soon.
A pleasure as always
Regards Peter
What a great place, people so friendly. fishing guides the greates, pool to relax after(you will need it after you catch a mekong). beutiful setting, great for me and the wife who does not fish, every one so helpful.
Ended up the highlight of my 21 day Thailand trip, if you love to fish give it a go, i will return, the big one awaits me. caught fish up tp 300lb, so cool, listen to guides they help so much, words can not explain what you get. the addrenalin rush when your line takes off.
We couldn't of said it better….. I shall all your lovely comments to the staff
Regards
Mel
This place is amazing!! This is a paradise for every angler!!
my boyfriend and i stayed the for 3 nights last week and we can't complain. He caught 13 fishes in 3 days including 80-85 kg Arapaima. People who work there are so friendly and they are always there for you. I'm not fishing but you can use infinity pool and free wifi plus you can enjoy watching your man fishing many different huge fishes. We definitely coming back next year. Thank you very much Sportquest!!
Hi Dawn
We are so glad to hear a non anglers side of the story. I have taken my partner there and she also enjoyed it, we went on a few of the activities in the mid days sun such things like the Elephant bath time, which my partner loved
Regards
Paul
This was a treat to myself to celebrate retirement. Exceeded all expectations.
Keith, thanks for the feedback alway great to hear that everything we said exceeded your expectations. We assume we will see you back very soon. Regards Peter Collingsworth
Had a great holiday this was my first trip with you and everything was great thanks. Only comment is the flight connection times of 4.5 hours was a bit long.
James glad to see that you had a great time we do get lots of great reviews from this destination. In relation to flight connections, we do try to keep these down to a minimum, however as your holiday was only booked just over 1 month before departure there sometimes is not as many flights available. Sorry for this but rest assured we do look for the best flights at the time. Also glad to see that you wish to return which is always a great testament for any holiday. Tight Lines Paul
Amazing fishing and amazing resort.
Thanks James we look forward in having you back soon. Regards Paul
Best place in the world for an opportunity to catch (and photograph) your favorite big fish. Arapaima, giant Siamese carp, Mekong catfish to name just a few. 48+ species, several over 100lbs, and a few world records all at one location.
Scenery, food, staff, and accommodation all excellent. Free wi-fi. And only a few kms to some of the most beautiful beaches in the planet. Spend a few minutes on the website to learn about the resort, amenities, fishing guidelines, species, etc. If you enjoy fishing
There are some stunning fish in all the lakes and i will back Seb up with the World records. Once people have been to Thailand it is hard to beat it
We would be more than happy to send you back there next year Seb, look forward receiving all your great pictures
Once again, thanks for your kind words
Regards
Paul
We have just spent the most enjoyable and memorable week in Thailand
My husband and 13 year old son are both keen fishermen, I am a keen reader and sunbather!! All our needs were met here, plenty of loungers and a fantastic pool for me and the most amazing fishing ever for the boys.
The accomodation worked well for us, two bed rooms and shower and lovely verandah.
The surroundings are exceptional and are only beaten by the quality of the fish and the fishing. Having said that the professionalism, enthusiasm and skill of the team is what really stands out both on the fishing and non fishing sides. Whilst we worked mostly with Lee (who is an absolute star) we also had the pleasure of spending time with Joel, Chris and Steve who are all great lads and all of whom contributed in some way to our stay and success.
The food was fantastic, the best Thai food we had all of our trip. What you have achieved is quite extraordinary and exceptional and cannot be faulted. We can’t wait to come back and we are already looking forward to it, we just need to work out when we can return now!
Thanks again
Suzie, they are very kind words and i am sure all the guys in Thailand will love reading this as much as we have.
It was a real pleasure helping you and your family on this holiday and can not wait to help you next time
Regards
Paul
I had a great trip Paul, Francois was fantastic, could not do enough for you, i was really well looked after from start to finish. The fishing was fantastic, i never managed to get arapaima but i had a great time battling with the Amazon Red Tail Catfish! the biggest being 65lbs ..... absolutely beautiful fish in perfect condition! ... and the care they take with the fish is outstanding, the guides are a real credit to the place........ more than happy to do as much or as little for you as you wanted them to do.... and they knew so much about the fish their tips and advise was just fantastic, I was really really impressed with the whole set up. Nothing short of amazing!..... well worth the money, and i will defiantly be returning in the future.
Im going to send you some pics separately.... a couple of the biggy and a smaller one.... for some reason they dont want to attach on here.
Best regards
Jared
Hi Jared
Glad to hear you had such a great trip. Every one says that Francois is amazing I would love to go one day. I hear the guides really do out of their way to help everyone a real credit to Francois
The Arapaima will wait till next time i am sure and can not wait to see your pics
All the best
Paul
Peter thank you for the chat on the phone and all the welcome home stuff a nice touch.
Happy to report the whole trip was perfect, my son and daughter also had a good time, the guides made sure they were safe at all times and kept them active with catching all sorts of different species, far to many to mention, plus I can not remember them all.
The organisation by your company was perfect and we have given you all top marks as its deserved.
Tom, thanks and likewise it was a pleasure dealing with you all.
PS love the pictures of the children with their fish. Their faces tell the whole story.
Lets talk again soon.
my partner and myself won a holiday through angling direct to fish for several days in Thailand, it was advertised as the lure and fly fishing package, but the itinerary was changed a little and we were to have the pleasure of having Jean Francios Helias as our guide for the week, happydays.
On arrival to our hotel (the Chitichic) we were a little shocked and quite disappointed, this hotel is in a real slummy part of Bangkok, and the frontage of the hotel made it fit right in.
the internals of the hotel weren't much better, 10 years ago it may have been all its listed to be by sportsquest, unfortunately i cant show the photos I've taken on this review, although i have listed them on trip advisor.
Regarding the fishing:
on day 1 and 2 the fishing was good, Francois joined us at the venues but never spent a single moment on the bank with us, he never offered us advice, he just had better things to do like sit on his laptop, doing emails and watching videos, or leaving us completely to go and do some shopping for a few hours, were wasn't quite sure why he even came with us to be honest, but we just kept on fishing, watched over by keyk (excuse the spelling) his employee, who was a very nice guy, but very limited English.
at the end of day 2 i had a small issue that i needed to clear up with Francois regarding the venues, he got very annoyed and wouldn't let me speak, and that was the last were saw of him, he abandoned us for the rest of the trip, but rang me on the last day to see if we were OK, like nothing had happened, very very odd and unprofessional.
the reason Francois spat his dummy out was due to the fact that keyk had told us that the next days fishing venue was very poor, the next day turned out to be a 50mx50m fish farm holding pond in the middle of hundreds of other fish farm ponds, embarrassing to say the least, i refused to fish this puddle.
it was a shame that either sportquest or Thailand fishing adventures find sending people to such locations as acceptable, but after talking to peter at sports quest its "the norm" apparently.
On my arrival back to the UK i brought up all these issues with peter (the owner of sportsquest) and he was very not my fault about the whole situation, its angling directs fault, which it wasn't at all, i actually recorded the conversation with him and forwarded it to angling direct, they have smoothed out the whole event with me, but I've not heard a thing back after my conversation or the email sent to peter, that was over a month ago.
I really wish we hadn't had to go through this experience, but we did.
Sean
Thank you for your customer review and also you e-mails. I am not sure why you did not think that we would not share your customer review for ALL of our customers reviews are shared on our website regardless if they are good, bad or indifferent.
I believe we have been through the points before in various e-mails and a telephone conversation. I would also just like to point out that recording a telephone conversation and then passing a copy of that telephone conversation on to a third party without the person being recorded consent is illegal.
As discussed this holiday was one of many holiday prizes supplied to Angling Direct for their “King of the catch” competition. This prize was a bespoke trip designed for lure anglers as it was to be offered to the winner of the predator category. Unfortunately in the competition details Angling Direct accidently put a link to the wrong tour on our website, which gave you the impression that you had won a different holiday.
Also as discussed you contacted Jean Francios Helias directly without our knowledge and changed the itinerary with him before you departed for Thailand.
In relation to the accommodation, again please remember this accommodation is used as this trip is put together for anglers as a fishing trip. Also the location is again based on anglers, it is close to Jean Francios Helias house. Anyone who knows or has experienced the traffic in Bangkok will know there are certain areas you do not want to be caught up in traffic and end up wasting fishing time. It’s a shame there were some issues with your room, as this hotel has not let us down before or any of our customers. I did check the hotel myself on Trip advisor to check other people’s reviews and in principle it is still getting good reviews.
I think the real shame about this situation is we never got to speak to you before you won the prize. In normal circumstances we speak to all customers to gage what their expectations are and what they are looking for in a holiday. I have reviewed all your 22 reviews on Tripadvisor and from our telephone discussions we would have never recommended this holiday to you as we can see from the reviews and your comments about fishing this was not really suitable.
However when holidays like these are purchased as competition prizes we do not have that control and say in whom the holiday is awarded to.
As previously mentioned we are sorry that the holiday did not live up to your expectations but as mentioned, these elements where totally out of your control.
Regards Peter
I had a fantastic fishing trip with Sportquest to Thailand. Everything was dealt with so promptly and professionally from my initial enquiry, to my booking and the whole time I spent in Thailand. Sportquest arranged my flights, my accommodation and transfers to and from the airport, as well to the various lakes I fished each day. Everything was made so simple for me. My guides in Thailand were superb - they knew each lake, the best choice of fishing method and I caught every fish I had on my hit list ! I would definitely book with Sportquest again. Special mention must go to Francois, my guide in Bangkok. He is just so knowledgeable on fishing, and he was so helpful the whole time I was in Thailand. He went up and above what I expected from a guide - I genuinely feel that I have made a friend for life in him. A real asset to your organisation - great bloke. Geoff Beale
Sounds like you had an amazing trip. Thank you for your feedback.
Our trip to Bangkok to fish multiple lakes was great. Francois his wfe Lek and his guide "kik" were tremendous hosts. Not only fishing but guiding us around the city and visiting the local street food stalls and various markets which were amazing. The street food really is fantastic. We both caught a lot of fish Mekong Catfish Siamese Carp Chao Phraya Catfish Arapaima Red tailed Amazonian catfish pacu tambiaki Alligator Gar and fly caught Barramundi. A truly eye opening trip with regard to the friendly culture and the sights and sounds of the city and countryside around Bankok.
The second destination Gilhams Resort at Krabi. Well organised great accommodation food and guides. Fishing was slower and more relaxed. Until you hooked a fish. Idyllic tropical surroundings and plenty of wildlife close encounters with yellow eyed mangrove snakes water monitors large spiders geckos various types of ants and millipedes.. Be aware the Ants can give you a good bite too. Travelling through the Thai Airports was a pleasure absolutely spotless organised and relaxed quite unlike any where else we have travelled through.
The weather was hot 34 degrees with most days in Krabi having a welcome downpour of rain for half an hour at around 2pm. The lakeside swims all have shelters to keep you dry most with electric fans to offer a breeze in the 90% humidity. There is a tuk tuk delivery driver who comes to your swim with anything you want to order beer water hot food even cocktails...tremendous service and always with a smile. There is small lake offers a fast catch rate of fish up to 25kg or so if you fancy a change in the afternoon when the big lake is quiet.
All in all great countryside good food and drink and big fish
to catch.They call it the land of smiles we had plenty of them with the wonderful Thai guides and hosts. Thoroughly recommended. Tony Quine & Alison Millard
Sound like you had a good time. Thank you for your great review.
The beautiful Gillhams fishing lake resort is located in the stunning area of Krabi Southern Thailand and is surrounded by limescale Karsts which are covered in a protected tropical rain forest. The resort can cater for single anglers, pairs, groups and we can also arrange full lake exclusivity.
Join us on an amazing Amazon adventure where just 6 lucky guests each week will have the daily opportunity to catch Arapaima all exclusively on the fly. With 6.5 days of pure magic ahead of each group, this will be an adventure you will remember for a very long time. This holiday is fully hosted based around single anglers to join like-minded anglers.
Visit the best destination in the world to catch Arapaima all exclusively on the fly. Enjoy 6.5 days fishing at Pirarucu Lodge, the largest Arapaima fishing reserve on this planet, all set in the stunning Amazon rainforest. Also, how about, on average, catching 3.5 Arapaima each day, plus many other species all on your fly rod.
