The Top Freshwater Fishing Lodges In Thailand

Thailand is one of the world’s most vibrant and versatile fishing destinations, offering an incredible blend of exotic species, stunning scenery, and world-class hospitality. From the tranquil lakes of Krabi to the lush countryside beyond, it’s a country where every cast brings excitement and every moment feels like a true escape.

Whether you’re battling giant freshwater species at Gillhams Resort or exploring multiple waters on our Multi Lake Adventure, Thailand delivers something special for every angler. Home to Arapaima, Giant Siamese Carp, and Mekong Catfish that test even the strongest tackle, these trips offer genuine trophy potential in some of the most beautiful surroundings on earth.

Beyond the fishing, Thailand is equally famous for its culture, cuisine, and warm hospitality. Non-angling companions can relax in luxury lakeside lodges, enjoy spa treatments, visit local markets, or simply unwind poolside under the tropical sun.

Below, you’ll find our handpicked collection of Thailand fishing experiences, each designed to combine exceptional fishing with comfort, adventure, and relaxation.


Set amongst the dramatic limestone cliffs and lush tropical gardens of Krabi, Gillhams Fishing Resort is one of the world’s most famous freshwater fishing destinations. Its private lake is home to over 50 exotic species from around the globe, including Arapaima, Giant Siamese Carp, and the mighty Mekong Catfish, with several growing well beyond 100lb.

The resort combines serious fishing with first-class comfort. Spacious lakeside bungalows, a swimming pool, restaurant, and spa make it ideal for families and couples as well as dedicated anglers. Non-fishing guests can enjoy Thai cooking classes, elephant encounters, and sightseeing tours, while anglers can focus on chasing some of the largest freshwater fish found anywhere in Asia.

With expert on-site guides, high-quality tackle, and a friendly international atmosphere, Gillhams delivers a seamless mix of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable sport, all set in one of Thailand’s most beautiful natural locations.
