  1. I have just updated my web site for venues for fishing in Pataya and Bungsan.I have now added directions on how to get to Bungsan from Pattaya and from Bangkok.I hope this is helpfull to anybody that wishes to go there.

    The web address is http://bungsanlanlake.netfirms.com

    If any body has other fishing venues or web sites please contact me and I will try and add them.This is one sure way to beat the tour operators who are expensive and will not tell you how to get to these places

    Dear Roy,

    I've been looking through your website, you are a real credit to the sport and yourself. The gallery 'WOW' !! Poses with some mighty fish - I especially like the Mekong Carp you caught. It is great for me to learn from such a highly experienced angler like yourself.

    Myself, I fish on a regular basis in Thailand but I would never compare myself to someone of your talents - you have certainly shown the world how 'going it alone' really pays off big time. I personally have only ever fished with guides and to be honest I am worried about my health - I get terrible aches and pains from playing fish that average 50lb+ all day long.

    Due to health factors I had to stop fishing for Mekong catfish, reading your website has been like a gift from God for me. I never even realised that Bungsamran had fish as small as the ones shown in your gallery, and as a fellow angler I beg for you to give me the recipe for these small cats.

    However - I was very dissapointed to read your warning about Mr.Tee. He is a very kind man with amazing ability to catch catfish averaging 50lb all day long. This incident has been totally blown out of proportion - many Thai men play and fool around in this style it is not meant in any perverted manner and means nothing whatsoever. It can easily be miss-read by guests in Thailand or anyone who does not understand Thailand or the Thai way. People make miss-judgements this is human - much like the bar where you are often seen with ladyboys in arm.

    To respectfully correct a few mistake I noticed on your website - here is a list of things you will learn from:-

    Mekong carp - Actually it is a Siamese carp

    'Yet another carp' in your gallery is acutally a Rohu or Indian carp to be specific about this species.

    Bungsanlan - is incorrect. Bung mean 'lake' - Sam Ran means 'leisure\luxuy' But your mistake is common because 'R' is pronounced as an 'L'.

    The price per rod is not 500B - it is now 1000B - bungalow between 800-2000 per 12 hours

    With all of this money you are saving by 'going it alone' I expect your website to have a face lift and I highly recommend purchasing a camera with great zoom functions to really show off those giants you keep catching.

    Keep up the good work and cut out the CARP you talk.

    Your biggest fan - the big fish man.
