WELCOME TO HUA HIN FISHING TOURS 

 Join Us On Our Purpose Built Boat - Pla Yai Mee Tee Nai? 

 ปลาใหญ่มีที่ใหน?    

 

For trips to Pranburi Dam, Kaeng Krachan Dam and others

 

Specifications


Our boat “Pla Yai Mee Tee Nai’ is a SWISSCAT manufactured by Lehmar of Switzerland, and as stated on their own website: ‘The hull is of the semi-catamaran type and is known for its rapid, easy and outstanding glide properties in the water. The advantages, which make the Semi-Catamaran extraordinary, are the high lateral stability, little draught and the good protection of the screw. The hull enables the catamaran to keep a steady track, which in turn allows for easy and comfortable driving.’

 

In other words – an ideal fishing platform. 

 

Designed to carry 8 persons we have fitted it out to carry 6 persons only – 2 crew and 4 fishermen.

 

This allows more room for fishing and hence more comfort for our clients.

 

Powered by a 25HP two-stroke, twin cylinder, 395cc YAMAHA outboard, we also a have transom mounted, 30lbs thrust electric trolling  motor by MINN KOTA acting as both backup and of course for the ‘silent moments’ approaching a swim. We also carry a Fish finder and GPS Positioner – both manufactured by GARMIN the world leaders in this technology.

Also fitted: Fold-up sun hood, Seating with enclosed storage, Life vests, Anchor, Emergency Paddle, Two Way Radio and Cool Box.

"PLA YAI MEE TEE NAI" has been supplied and fitted out by 'ELECTRIC BOATS THAILAND' in conjunction with 'MERMAID CRUISES & SHIPPING' based at Pak Nam Pran nearby to Hua Hin.   Check out their websites from our 'Links' page. 

Mounted on our own trailer we can transport ‘PlaYai Mee Tee Nai’ to most of the many dams and lakes that are to be found around Hua Hin and soon have her in the water for your day of fishing. Our towing and passenger carrying vehicle is a Chevrolet ‘Colorado’ Double Cab Pickup. Optional 4 wheel drive from the 3.0ltr Turbo Diesel engine provides plenty of power when needed to get the trailer to and from the water’s edge. 

Our Aim
To give our clients the best possible freshwater fishing experience on the waters around Hua Hin, whilst offering the best value for money combined with safety and reliability.

The Fishing.


Fishing on these dams should provide you with the opportunity to catch Snakehead (Pla Chon, Pla Shadow), Jungle Perch (Pla Krasoop). Some Catfish and Golden Price Carp can also be found although these fish are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The advantage that we offer is the ability to reach places not usually frequented by others!

An early pickup from your accommodation will take you through the sleepy countryside arriving at the dam's edge around 06.00. We should be fishing for Pla Krasoop, Pla Chon & the elusive Pla Shadow at our favourite spot around 06.45. With several locations to try and being on the water in Pla Yai Mee Tee Nai, the whole dam is available to us.  

 

When the sun is well and truly up and it starts to get a little warm, we return across the dam to our point of embarkation, take some lunch at their restaurant - simple but tasty Thai dishes - and then back to Hua Hin Fishing Lodge for an afternoon seeking different quarry in our own lakes.

THE HUA HIN FISHING EXPERIENCE (2) 

 

EARLY MORNING FISHING TRIP TO PRANBURI DAM, LUNCH AT HUA HIN FISHING LODGE AND AN AFTERNOON OF RELAXED FISHING ON OUR LAKES 

 

All fishermen will tell you that the best time to fish is at sunrise. Nothing is more true when boat fishing at Pranburi Dam. This dam is some 14km long and 2km wide at its extremities. It is a spectacular location that most visitors never get the chance to enjoy. Now we can bring you this wonderful experience on our purpose built fishing boat PLA YAI MEE TEE NAI. 

 

Join us for an early morning trip through the beautiful Thai countryside, see the pineapple plantations, the farmers and fishermen who are lucky enough to live and work on the shores of Pranburi Dam. Travel out onto the dam at sunrise and reach that private location where the Pla Krasoop (Jungle Perch), Pla Chon (Striped Snakehead) and - if you are lucky - the famous Pla Shadow (Giant Snakehead) all lurk in the reeds nearby. Here we will use lures to try and tempt these Thai fishing celebrities to our boat!

 

When the sun is well and truly up and it starts to get a little warm, we return across the dam to our point of embarkation and then back to Hua Hin Fishing Lodge for a comfortable lunch. (For those who want it - you can try our English Breakfast!).

 

Your afternoon can then be spent at leisure around our ponds where further species await you.

 

Return to your accommodation early evening after a splendid day of fishing.  

 

 

 

   

 

This is THE HUA HIN FISHING EXPERIENCE on Pranburi Dam  

 

This is a full 12 hour trip - collection at your hotel at around 04.30 to 0500 hrs, return to Hua Hin Fishing Lodge around 13.00hrs for lunch. Stay on and fish our lakes until around 16-17.00 hrs if you wish and then return to your hotel thereafter.

Day Trips to PALM TREE LAGOON

 

At Hua Hin Fishing Lodge and also via Hua Hin Fishing Tours we get many enquiries about ‘Palm Tree Lagoon’ supposedly in Hua Hin.

 

Firstly – Hua Hin Fishing Lodge is NOT ‘Palm Tree Lagoon’.

 

Secondly – ‘Palm Tree Lagoon’ is NOT in Hua Hin – it is approximately 120Km NORTH of Hua Hin and about a 1 ˝ hour drive away.

 

It is a fishing park with simply HUGE fish made famous by a UK TV programme. However, the location is not as romantic as it sounds and the facilities there are somewhat limited.

 

Hua Hin Fishing Lodge and Hua Hin Fishing Tours have secured an arrangement with the owner of the facility to fish this lake at a very competitive cost, when compared to the international tours that feature this location.

 

We can offer a full day trip from Hua Hin area for up to 4 persons including:-

  • Pick up and return transportation to and from your accommodatio
  • Provision of all tackle
  • Use of Hua Hin Fishing Lodge guide / baitman
  • Swims can be prebaited for 4 days prior to the visit, provided notice is given.

Food and drink can be ordered directly from Palm Tree Lagoon staff and is charged extra.
