Are there any? I'd love to make some traps and have myself a crawfish boil. I know some people raise them here, but I'd really like to catch them. Any info on this you could provide?

Why don't you make some traps, bait them up and then tell us all in a few days if there are native crawfish in Thailand smile.png

I'm pretty sure there's none in my local area. There are freshwater crab and prawns I see people catch, but never crawfish.

You obviously have a phosphate and mercury deficiency in your diet. Just eat a handful of fertilizer and a thermometer and your crayfish craving will pass.

I don't always eat what I catch but I still like to sometimes, including the bottom feeders. The waterways here aren't the cleanest, but if you're that scared then you should avoid ordering crab, catfish, tilapia, clams, or any other animal people catch in risky areas.

As far as I am aware there are no wild stocks of crawfish in thailand. There used to be a couple of comercial sources, but I have heard nothing in a while. Try the prawns, they're just as tasty

I caught these in my last trip to Spain with a home made trap. I think Thailand is just shrimp/prawns. See loads of tiny ones in reservoirs and the huge freshwater prawns in the rivers.

Robby your photo isn't loading. Are you sure they're crayfish and not prawns?

I have seen them sold in Surin.

Tiny and very small claws.

There's a Thai word for them Kûng n̂ả cụ̄d , กุ้งน้ำจืด

Out of curiosity, how do they grow the blue ones, red ones, white ones, etc that I see at Chatuchuk Market?

Different species I expect. The blue colour comes from copper being the main component of their blood instead of iron like us.

'After hemoglobin, hemocyanin is the second most commonly encountered

blood pigment, and plenty of other arthropods (including lobsters, crabs

of the nonhorseshoe variety, and assorted insects) and mollusks (among

them snails and octopuses) have blue, copper-based blood'
