3 Fishing Trips in Thailand: Prices, Timings And The Pick

1.Koh Samui: Fishing Day Tour by Escort Boat with Mr. Tu

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 45 reviews · 6h 30m · from $50Our pick

Spend 6.5 hours fishing off Koh Samui with Mr. Tu’s English-speaking crew. Hotel pickup, rods, bait, lures, drinking water, lunch, swimming time, and basic accident insurance are included. Expect a relaxed boat day rather than a guaranteed big catch, with barracuda, trevally, and snapper among the possible targets.

“It was a lot of fun and beautiful being on the water. However I wish we got more guidance on how to actually catch the fish. The guides were the only ones to catch any fish other than one man that was using 3 rods which doesn’t seem fair. It was advertised that we would go to a spot to snorkel & swim. We did swim for 10 minutes but there was no where to snorkel so that was disappointing. Lunch was great, the transportation was great, staff was very friendly.”

2.Koh Samui Day and Night Fishing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 37 reviews · 8 hours · from $57

Join Mr. Tu and his crew for an eight-hour shared fishing trip from Koh Samui. You will visit several fishing areas, enjoy lunch, and return to the water near Ko Som for a second challenge. English-speaking staff, fishing gear, life jackets, insurance, and hotel transfers are included. The catch may be cooked onboard or served afterward.

“Great day trip. A bit of confusion when booking as the description had 8am start and only 2 pickup locations with surcharge outside these zones. Please note that hotel pickup is actually included and we were picked up at 9am in a van (Get Your Guide, please update your info online). We had a nice group size of 9 (shared trip) and left pier around 10am. We had 3 beginners in our party who quickly learnt how to use the rods and then lots of fishing time. Not many bites in the morning ( few small fish but enough to thrill the newbies), then onto a local bay for lunch.…”
