Thanks Impulse. Just going to try cover all my bases. Taking some lures, corn, bread, etc. Read an article written by a guy called Andy Pearson and he was catching a variety of fish using bread. Here is the link of anyone is interested: http://www.gulliblestravels.co.uk/Thailand4.htm . 

Will definitely post a report if I manage to get anything. 

I am heading to the river Kwai and looking to do some bait fishing. Does anyone have advice regarding baits and rigs? 

Thanks for the response Impulse.

Does anyone know of any bait fishing venues close to Bangkok that can be fished using light tackle? I want to use a light setup (6ft rod, 12lb line) without having to worry about hooking into a 70kg cat or the like. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks again for the advice! I am going to Ngao nam on saturday afternoon. I have been there once before and had some success. I am really interested in targeting Julian's golden carp using lighter tackle but cant seem to find much info. Also, I am a bit worried I hook into a big cat while using lighter tackle.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate the advice! I guess the best way to make connections and learn the best methods is to get out to the venues. I am not a fan of pond fishing but I suppose one has to start somewhere. 

Do you know of any venues where you can get away with using lighter tackle to target fish like Julian's golden carp? All this tow ropes and broom sticks fishing gets boring after a while.  

I am also interested in catching baramundi but not sure what setup to get. I am looking at a baitcasting rod, around 6' to 6'5", medium action. Do you think that would be sufficient?

I am an experienced angler who has recently moved to Bangkok. My experience is moslty in specimen carp angling, fly fishing, and lure fishing for bass. I have found it difficult to get into the fishing scene here as all the species are new to me and the techniques seem different to what I am used to. 

I am looking for anyone who has more experience fishing in Thailand that will allow me to join them for a session. Internet research can only get one so far, I have always found that fishing with someone who knows what they are doing is the best way to learn. 

If anyone is willing to let me join them on a session or even just have a chat and give me some advice, please do not hesitate to respond.
