I was thinking of getting some land and building something for me & my GF

but this thread just put right off

I couldnt cope with this happening to me..I work bloody hard for my money , long hours ect + pay for the kids

I can picture the guy coming back to his house

I think it would finish me off ...

I feel the same as you in I want to be there now having an adventure, theres some good advise here

all of us need money thats the biggie really. if you want to go you gotta get the cash sorted.

Well thats my plan now.

To visit as and when I can , and try save for the possibility of moving later in life ,im 35 now

I think thats the best I can do for now .

Its not an easy thing to do unless you have big money, no commitments and a big house you can rent out to fund you ...

good luck ukme, and hope you make it where you want to be.

While we were fishing in bkk ,the lake owners sons just threw any rubbish they had over there shoulder into a small pond which was full of glass bottles ,plastic bags and the like ...the owner said nothing... seems even the elders dont see rubbish everywhere as a being a problem...or mind looking at it.

lots of help there thanks all..

We had a good trip ..

did BSR and ngau nam and a few others lakes maybe next visit I can make it to IT lakes nxt year .. I can understand the loss rates on the predator fish must be higher and as such so is the price to fish..plus the unhooking guys wages ect

which kind of put me off going there ..7000 baht plus transport ect is a big chunk out of my budjet..

had a great time didnt catch anything really big but to be fair I didnt put the time in..best fish I had was a big mouth carp ... had about 5 days fishing in total..

got some new lakes to fish next visit

Tight lines all and thanks again

Seems tha Emirates are resuming daily flights from the 6th Dec from Dubai to Bkk,

Unfortunately not the flight I'm booked on ...due out Fri 5th

Sorry for the delay ,I was expecting an email notification on reply but didn't get one .

Yes I agree with you going unprepared and being a novice without the correct gear would be a mistake,and bad for the fish.

to explain we have family in Bkk who come along / take us fishing ,

We fish a few lakes with them which all are different ,and its all great sport.

Ill take another look at your site ,

thanks for your response
