Arapaima Monster Fishing Phuket

(7)
Exotic Fishing
Phang Nga, Thailand

Exotic Fishing Thailand invites you to try something different on your next vacation in Phuket. Just a one-hour drive from the airport can take you to a one of a kind fishing destination. If you want to target monster fish and exotic species that can’t be found anywhere else in the world, you have found the right place. But don’t get our word for it - try it yourself!

On your day out, you will be fishing from your own private lakeside hut. The views of the surrounding mountains are beyond spectacular and the fishing needs to be seen to be believed. The lake is one of the largest fisheries in southern Thailand with nearly 10 acres of water.

With Exotic Fishing Thailand, the list of your potential targets is so big that it’s hardly possible to mention all 60+ species at once. You will be going after Arapaima, Siamese Carp, Giant Mekong Catfish, Alligator Gar, Chao Phraya Catfish, Wallagoo Leeri, Yellow Cheek Carp and many more.

You will be able to take 12 swims to catch the fish of a lifetime. Your guides will help you throughout the adventure landing the fish, helping with photos, changing leaders, and bait. This is a strictly catch and release fishery where the survival of the fish is paramount. Get ready to get wet as you join your catch in the water for a photograph!

All trips come with two rods, tackle, and an unlimited supply of bait, as well a taxi ride back anywhere in Phuket Krabi or Khao Lak. A lakeside food and drinks service with both Thai and international food will be available.

Exotic Fishing offers a pickup service from Phuket and areas in the vicinity so all you need to think about is if you’re ready to wrestle with a 100 lb freshwater monster fish!

My favorite species on a fly rod is Arapaima. There is nothing like hooking into one of these acrobatic monsters on a fly rod! If you like steam trains - then look no further! Mekong Catfish on conventional spinning tackle can be back breaking fun.

Full day of awesomeness!!

Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Mike and his wonderful crews. My guide was respectful, attentive and have great care to both me and the fish I caught. The food there was also phenomenal and the view is breathtaking.
Ps. Contact them directly for booking and save yourself some money.

Great place!

We had a great day fishing at Mike’s place. You get your own hut to hang out at while fishing and the guides there are absolutely wonderful. There are a lot of HUGE fish in that lake and if you’re lucky you might hook an arapaima. There’s also a fish park where you can see smaller fish of exotic species and a pond with smaller arapaimas. Last but not the least the food there was phenomenal. We had a blast!

Best Fishing experience of a lifetime

I’m dedicated to all things fishing, from sharing tools and advice to showing people exactly where to fish to have the best time on the water.  I have to say that Mike and his staff have put together the best of everything in one place. The facility is 5 star and includes beautiful bungalows, the restaurant and service are top notch and the guides are some of the best in the business.  My daughter and I definitely made memories of a lifetime on this trip.  She pulled in two Amazon red tailed catfish (30 and 70lbs) and I caught one of the famous arapaima topping out at around 155 lbs.  There are over 60 species to be caught in this lake and every single person there pulled in fish throughout the day.  Thank you Mike for your professionalism and for sharing this special spot in Thailand with me. I can promise that I will be back and I’ll bring my friends.
