Freshwater Fishing in Kanchanaburi Thailand.

Thai Fishing Guide can now offer you
live aboard freshwater fishing trips,
in nothing less than a piece of Paradise!!!

Base Camp in Si Sawat.

One of Thailand’s largest, and most beautiful lakes,
Srinakharin Lake, is located near Kanchanaburi
in the west of Thailand.

You may recognize the name Kanchanaburi, as it is
the closest city to the area made famous
by the movie “Bridge Over The River Kwai”.

Most people have heard about the River Kwai,
but what they have not heard about, is the fantastic fishing
that can be experienced in the huge lake,
this famous river runs through!

This man-made impoundment is surrounded by small mountains
and waterfalls, and has been home to many movie sets
over the years due to its natural beauty.

It was made by flooding a large valley,
and has therefore depths more than 100 meters.

The villages, houses and trees submerged by it has created
great habitat and structure for a large fish population.
Big Toman (Giant Snakehead), Featherback,
Rohu and Hampala Barb are abundant
and these ferocious fighters will test any angler’s skills.
