Thailand charters
Ok guys heres the story,
Im headed to thailand in july and the mrs has already agreed if i do a cooking class with her i can do a fishing charter with or with out her.
Has anyone done any over there? This time of year?
Ive had mates do the giat carp fisheries but id rather just do that in the yarra lol im thinking ill do it when we are down near phuket or in the south reigon so anywhere around there would be good.
Cheers

Re: Thailand charters
I've only ever done 1 charter and it was pretty oridnary in all respects. I don't have current info on anything in the immediate Phuket area. You could try googling the Rawaii sport fishing club and see where that leads you. You could also try Trip advisor and Thai visa forums (which has a dedicated fishing forum).
My money tends to go to the parks these days.

Not very good mate, alot of shifty operators, my bro had a permanent unit there for 2 years and said it's not worth it, if you were single I would suggest
you go there for the nightlife so to speak, lol

Re: Thailand charters
I went on a really good one in Koh Tao with an english bloke. We caught spanish maks, queenies, etc. and the day before they got marlin and cobia. It was pretty pricey, but if you're keen it was good. Have a look here http://fishingkohtao.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .
Koh Tao is an awesome joint, I'd highly recommend it to anyone. I hired an ATV and took it all around the island up dirt tracks and all sorts, it was some of the best fun I've had anywhere.

The eastern islands are great, koh Tao and koh nanyuang were my faves

Second the Koh Tao guy. He's one of the few I've found good reviews on but I didn't get a chance to fish with him. Info below (from 2013)

Tel.+66 (0)848440700
Price still 5,000. max 2 persons. early start 5.45 or whenever 1st light is. 8 hour day. We are very dependant on weather. Fishing quite far offshore this season so need calm sea. so good if you are flexible with dates.
Best regards,
Marc
Long way from Phuket but.

Re: Thailand charters
Yeah, unfortunately last time I was there it was too rough so we couldn't go out. That was the same price as of 2014 as well.wokka1 wrote:Second the Koh Tao guy. He's one of the few I've found good reviews on but I didn't get a chance to fish with him. Info below (from 2013)
