| The
variety of magnificent scenery, coupled with year-round warm weather
and abundance of gamefish make fishing in Thailand's seas a popular
water sport. Among the fish you can found here are wahoo, tuna, barracuda,
sailfish and marlin. |
| The Gulf of Thailand
|
| In
contract to the Andaman Sea, the Gulf is less saline, generally warmer
and shallower. Sharks, eagle rays, and barracuda are just a few of
the species to be seen here. During the cool season from November
to January, sailfish can be spotted in Pattaya and Bang Saray region,
as well as in Chumphon and in the waters around Ko Samui. In the Gulf
itself, Pattaya and Bang Saray are the major centres for gamefishing,
with plenty of charter boats available. |
| The Andaman Sea |
| Among
the best fishing areas here are Racha Yai Islands near Phuket and
the Similan Islands, northwest of Phuket. Sailfish season runs from
mid-May to November, while marlin and tuna bite during the months
of late November to May. The main gamefishing centre in the Andaman
Sea area is Chalong Beach, on the east coast of Phuket, where visitors
can find numerous well-equipped boats and crew for charters lasting
from a day to a week or longer. |
