sorry new at this i did not mean to cut someone off

Well, any 20-30 kg (50-70 pound) fish are strong. I am sorry to shatter your fish of a life time, but that fish has been caught countless times. 20p line is the standard set up in Borsang, so I can't see a 60p line would add anything to it, except great reduction in casting length.

I don't see hunters bragging about shooting animals in cages or tied up to a post/fence. Why is it that people really think they have achieved some miracle experience, by having hooked into a farm bred/grown fish, that swims in a pond? If it is about the strength and run, then why not to tie the line behind a motorcycle and ask your buddy to take off?

To each its own, i like fishing in those lakes also because there isnt much else in Bangkok. Before i fished in Holland in nature and sure its harder then here. I still think catching the big ones in the ponds is a lot of fun. Nowadays i try to fish lighter then before but for the big ones i still use different tackle then for the smaller ones.

I don't see it as a miracle catching a bred fish but if its a big one and one of few its still an achievement, less of course then when you would have caught it in the wild. A 20 p line is fine i got it on one of my rods but no way its going to hold one of those big ones if it makes a run to some obstacles. But ok that is my opinion.

anyone fished the 600 acre lake in khon kaen.did you have any luck .how many did you catch and any size to them.

sorry i meet to mention the lake is in khon kaen.

i was wondering if anyone has fished the 600 acre lake there.if so any size to them.did you catch very many there.thank you for your input.have a nice evening.

Bill u asked good questions and i will give my answer; I too am from America, retired and moved here in 05 and have not looked back. I made 5 trips over before i actually made the move. I lived in a Bangkok condo for 2 years; my wife is from a very small village outside of Buriram and we would visit often, an English whom I developed a close friend ship with lived in the village full and each trip i made my wife village home more comfortable < the US standards, after a couple of years I enjoyed it so much in the village we sold the BKK condo and moved to Banthago full time. My English friend moved away but it remains my Valhalla and i really enjoy my live here, we go to Bangkok every three months, Pattaya for the beach and Korat is a nice place to visit. I do enjoy Thailand,

in answer to your questions

1. I do not believe Phetchabun is considered Isaan, my wife said it is not.

2. My wife has 6 sisters most of them are great, i find her mother to be a really great lady. It is true women tend to be like their mothers, be it American or Thai, If the mother "wants" u are in trouble. If the daughter is giving money to her family they will want more from the rich Forang. I have no in law problems, some one that does will answer differently.

Yes there is a big language barrier, I spend a lot of time talking to my mother in law and she to me however my Khmer language skill are poor and she does not speak English. Unless u speak Thai?Khmer u will depend on your wife's translation will she tell u the truth or what u want to hear???

3. Obtain suggestions from your g/f as what u should do about gifts. I would not and did not gifts expensive gifts.

Since I do not know if u will be visiting a village, outside of Phetchabun or in the city, i can not really answer this question, I know only small village life.

4. I feel 100% this is my home, I feel I am accepted for who I am a forang with ties to the area, i go to local school events and donate when i want to the schools.

For me it is really a great life. perhaps i should have answered with a PM, perhaps I wrote too much, just wanted to answer your questions any others just PM me.

i will go to live in khon kaen in july ,but i would like to visit buriram though.my future thai. has kin in mahasarakhom province and also roi-et province

i have never seen aNY REGULATIONS HOW DO I GET .THANK YOU ,BUFFALOE.ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT ,BUT I NEVER SEE
