fishinginbangkok. Fishing in Thailand Bangkok
Fishinginbangkok. Welcome to the channel, my aim with this channel is to show you around the fishing venues available in and around Bangkok. There are many lakes that are well known and publicized to foreigners in Thailand but there are also many lakes that are less well known and deserve some recognition. Often these lesser known lakes are full of interesting fish and are much cheaper for a day than the well-known venues. I hope to share with you my fishing trips to all the venues I visit and include information about prices, equipment available, rigs, bait and of course the fish. So, if you’re interested in fishing in Thailand please join me as I travel around Bangkok and the surrounding areas.

Lovely looking place ⭐⭐⭐
I got the spectra extreme 30lb braided line for $1 and I can already tell you it's the best in it's price range lol
Within the last year. All 3 of my Sharky baitfeeder 4000 baitfeeder clickers have failed. The reels still work great with that one exception.
How old where they when the clickers broke? I still have this reel and it just wont die but the 2nd drag adjuster is a little tight
@Fishinginbangkok 1 was a year and a half. The other 2. Only a year. I bought small bite alarms now for those reels
Where do you buy/ find the worms?
some tackle shops sell them. also some fishing parks. also you can order lazada but you need to order like 1kg but from lazada they are fresh
I use power pro for salmon fishing now. What do you recommend? I fish in saltwater
Very informative thank you, I've used a few of these braids for uk shore fishing with multiplier reels my favourite is 4 strand jof in 35lb although the Colour fades quite quickly ,
yes your handy will be the color of the braid the first time out but over all JOF is one of the better braids. I tend to use Jof, Kastking 4 or 8 depending on the set up and the Manster if i want something very soft like on my baitcaster for throwing lures. they are cheap and strong. I don't doubt that some of these higher end braids are better but are they that much better to justify the extra cost and i can change out the china braid like 3-4 times for the same cost as the high end braid. Check out The Line Laboratory on youtube. he tests a lot of braids and is doing a gr8 job at it. very informative.
You should fish at Tee Fishing Park next. It’s on soi Ramintra 62.
What fish do you normally get there?
@@RICK82873 Mainly Swai and Tilapia.
Looks like a nice spot Rick
😊😊😊
Hi Rick can you tell me if you can hire the fishing gear at this venue?
Hi. Just called them and they said yes they can rent a rod and reel for 350B a day. Then 150b for the ticket. No idea the quality of the rod and real they will give you but hopefully this information helps.
@@Fishinginbangkok thank you very much
Would the Shimano bait runner 8000d be a good reel for these lakes?
There a gr8 real. Only potential downside. would be the line capacity if you fished at Bungsamran as the lake is huge, if you hooked it to something big it could spool you. but I have fished at Bungsamran using a 8000-OC loaded with 60Lb braid and caught a 107lb Mekong and it handled it just fine. Other than that most fishing lakes are no a problem as they are much smaller so the fish will just run out of runway. .
@@Fishinginbangkok thanks for the advice. Also Can you tell me where in Bangkok I can buy a decent powerful rod, Ideally I would like something that is either telescopic or something that packs down in 4/5 sections for travelling with backpack? Not sure if something like that exists but any info would be much appreciated.
@@rossmaxwell7737 telescopic or 3-4 section travel rods are not really a thing in Thailand. especially if you want something strong enough to handle a decent size Siamese or Mekong. you can buy a decent 2 section rod from most tackle shops for 1500-2500B. you can pay a lot more but 1500-2500 will get you a plenty good enough rod and you can find 2 section rods everywhere. most Thai rods are around 6-9ft long. or alternatively bring your own real loaded with good line and rent the rod from the lake. the reel is the more important part of the set up and easer to transport.
Mate the FB link is down, could you provide the name or other info to find your guide services? Thanks so much.
Hi. I went with my friend Jon. he is not a guide he just enjoys fishing. his Facebook is facebook.com/profile.php?id=563642160
fishing in farm😏, tourism fishing, show us snakhead in jungle!
Just take a look at the channel you will see plenty of wild fishing.
😊😊😊
You wemt to Chai Nat bird park , should have checked out KS FISHING PARK . 100BT a rod, mainly Bla Buk some Siamese Carp Sawai and a few Catfish. Good food and beers. Also have food fish ponds to take home. Also 100b a rod. Been many times never disappointed. Lovely setting and clean. Well worth a shot. Kev C .
Thank you for the info. I will add it to my list. Hopefully one day I can spend sometime there.
@@Fishinginbangkok One more thing, you have to use their own bait.
❤❤❤
Nice session on the river. Always good to see the fish going back to fight another day!
Its something of a rarity in Thailand on the river. most end up in the pot.
Hey, love your videos man. I have one question though, what fishing rod do you use for fishing in Thailand? And what length is it? I would like to get into fishing someday and I want to know what gear people use.
Unfortunately there is no one rod. You need to size the rod taking in to account the venue, the target fish and size. if you know where you want to fish and the target fish I could make some suggestions.
@@Fishinginbangkok Thanks, I was thinking just some freshwater species like Swai and Tilapia, and things like that. Just some small ponds and rivers. Thanks for the reply man, love your vids.
@@MonkeLmao2025 My go to middle of the road rod for smaller fish is my OKUMA AZORES. take a look in Lazada they retail for around 2,000, B. the one with the cork handle. I like the 9ft rod and the spinning version. But for around 1,000B you can get a decent enough rod of comparable strength.
@@Fishinginbangkok Alright man, thank you so much for the advice. 👍
Great video as always. Nice couple of Black Ears for John
Great fish mate
😊😊😊
It’s always nice to see a wild catfish from a river, what bait is the best for Black Ear Catfish? And can I used circle hooks for them?
I am sure circle hooks would work. We where using J hooks. The Black ear took a small walking catfish and I think the 2nd took a small eel live bait.
Not catfish... Its a pangasius.
Please take a look in Google you will see that this is a catfish. Search pangasius in Goole and the top search is Wikipedia where is says " Pangasius is a genus of medium-large to very large shark catfishes "
Do you need to fish with guides?
All depends on you ability's and knowledge of fishing style. you are free to fish alone with out a guide if you are ok with that.
Whats the name of this restaurant? Is it still operational?
I don't think its open any more. cut the Thai text ตกกุ้ง in to google maps to see locations close to you.
thank you! how did you get there, is there a specific bus from the center?
I drove my car. you can look at taxi bus or train.
Hello! Do you have to have your own fishing rod or do you rent the fishing rod from them (rod and reel)? thank you!
Hi I took my own rod and real and don't know if they have gear for rent.. You can send them a message in Facebook. Just search captain fishing park in Facebook.
They’re very small, I’m went to different shrimp fishing pond and there are lots of big shrimp and these guys are very strong they’re big eater
yes there are many of this style around. you can also catch them in the river.
Hi. Thanks for the videos. Really interesting for a new isitor to Thailand. Want to give the fishing a go on my next trip. What type and strength of li e do you use on these lakes, please? Trying to get my head around the types of fish in them!
Hi, I have many reals set up with different lines. from my lightest at 10lb to my strongest at 80Lb. the size of the fish in thailand very a lot. with 3 of the worlds biggest fresh water fish here the Mekong catfish, Siamese carp and giant stingray. as well as the import fish like arapaima. You need to understand where your going and the fish that are potentially there. for this lake I was using 30LB line.
Is that a river prawn?
yes fresh water river prawn :)
👍👍👍
Great video, as always Rick
Nice one. Lots of vegetation and shade. Where was the famed landing net...555. Off to Goose again soon.
Hi M8. it was in the car but as the lake had nets I just used them. saves me cleaning mine and making my car smell on the way home.
Thanks Rick, nice informative video. Looks like a nice place to spend a day, and near the red line too. I will be over next week will put it on my list.
Hi Ted. There are worse places to spend a day that's for sure. Just hope it cools down a bit as its just sooooo hot the fish are a little shy to eat.
@@Fishinginbangkok Yes i am a bit worried about the heat, hoping to fish around the Bangkok area a bit more this trip. Do you know of a catch & cook lake where they cook what you catch, always wanted to try one.
@@tedsacre maps.app.goo.gl/K5VT6rZnhFjKfGFUA บ่อตกปลานัดพบฟิชชิ่งปาร์ค This lake would probably cook up a tilapia, rohu. java barb or striped catfish if you wanted them to.. Its a gr8 little lake and the owner Mr Sila is a nice guy but cant speak a word of English. There are 3 lakes there last time I went they had drained the main lake and where doing some repairs. I like the long thin lake on the right side of the car park there are some interesting fish in there. Its about 120b a rob and I think that includes 1kg of fish
@@Fishinginbangkok Thanks Rick that lake looks perfect, ill let you know how I get on.
The second lake seems to be perfect for my ultralight lol, since there’s tilapia and other small species.
there are some good fish in the 2nd lake but my god it was hot and getting bites was difficult. Mostly smaller fish in the 2nd lake and the Thai anglers where using whips so a UL would be fun.
I hope you post clips often. I follow.
thank you
The Seaknight Monster/Manster is actually pretty good. They just overestimated their line strength. The 80lbs Monster is actually 60lbs which is quite accurate.
I have come to the same conclusion. I tested it based on the manufactures advertising of strength. If you buy this you need to order the strength above what you require to actually get the strength you expect.
@@Fishinginbangkok Yes sir, Same results with the 80lbs i bought. its breaking at around 57-62lbs tried it several times. I really love this braid its thin,weave is good and most important part its very affordable! I also tried their 15lbs and 20lbs monster W8 its quite accurate aswell with the stated strength. Good review sir!😁
The correct name is bing pla bik which means pla bik is a type of cat fish and bing means fishing lake.
Let’s not kid ourselves the correct spelling would be บึงปลาบึก you can only ever accurately spell any word in Thai using the Thai language. Out of all the ways I have seen westerners / foreigners transliterate Thai in to English I have never seen Lake บึง written as Bing. A much closer transliteration would be Bung. For the ปลา or fish part of the name there is debate over if B or P best represents the ป consonants in Thai language. Both are used but really once you read Thai you will see that English doesn't have a consonant that can accurately represents the ป in Thai language. This is like several other vowels and consonants the Thai language has. The best 3 I can think of would be the ต wrote as a T or D. The ก that is always wrote as K when it’s only a K at the end of the word and often would be better represented as a G and the อ that really can’t be represented as anything in English. So Plar or Blar would both be acceptable. Lastly the end of the name บึก for Mekong catfish a better representation for the purpose of transliteration would be Buk and not Bik. Remembering this is all trying to transliterate Thai into English and while for a limited number of vowels and consonants this can be used with reasonable accuracy for the most part the only way to accurately pronounce Thai is to learn to read and wright the Thai language.
Your explanation is accurate and really impressive.
@@Tackle_Boy Thank you. After rereading again I realized I did make a mistake with the explanation so corrected that now. You are Thai? I am guessing from your videos.
Great video ! congratulation for the Big "Tepho" and "Shaiyu". I went to Chao phraya for 3 time and never catch tepho haha
recommended time of day .how arrange from hotel soi 11..rods and bait supplied just some family fish trip tourist
we got there in the morning about 9am. Not sure if they have any gear for rent. check out some of my other videos there are many lakes around.
how did you do the bait..on the size hook your equip or theres
Hi we where using Chicken hearts I brought at the super market as bait. I was using my own rods and reals.
Great to see you fishing in the wild. Hope to see more of this content.
a few trips booked for this month. as long as we catch a few fish there will be a new video. :)
those are mangrove snapper btw
ive never heard of snapper or grouper hitting lures... you typically use cut up fresh fish and let it sit on bottom. wait for that 3rd hit ;)
why not try Top water lures
We do and have had success with them. Please check out some of my other videos and you will, see when we go out lure fishing we use all sorts of lure types. My most recent video I was using top water pencils and getting archer fish hitting them. .
Nice video of Greenfield. I did 5 days and nights there late Jan, start of Feb 2024. Great place to fish and stay. Did land a few Mollycot. Amazing slime on them. Booking to go back for late next March. Loved it there. Pity the weathers gods were against you that day bud.
Yes unfortunately the weather was terrible but if I am down that way in the future it would be good to give it another go.
Was the JOF x4 or x8?
4
i try to never leave a hook..but nice catch for sure..
Im going soon to krabi
what a monster mekong
