Welcome to the Pai Piranha Fishing Park


My names Dave and I'm the proud owner of the Pai Piranha Fishing Park & Guesthouse located in the foothills above Pai in Northern
Thailand.

After living in Pai for 14 years I decided 8 years ago it was time to follow my passion and create this fantastic park only 5 minutes from
Mhor Paeng Waterfall and 10 minutes from the City Centre.

To find me all you have to do is follow the signs from the Pai Hospital, staying on the same road for approximately 7km.

The road is well signed so you should have no problems.

PARK OPEN'S AT 10AM AND CLOSES AT 6PM

The fishing park consists of 2, good size ponds that I intend to make in to 1 large pond very soon and a family run Guesthouse all set in a beautiful mountain side location.

We have been lucky enough to recieve plenty of good reveiws on trip advisor and have been voted No:2 best thing to do in Pai.

Fishing

Half day ticket 1-3 hours will cost 100B,(per person) this includes all your fishing equipment, 1 rod and
a free bucket of bait.

Full day ticket 1-8 hours will cost 200B,(per person) this includes all your fishing equipment, 1 rod and
a free bucket of bait.

These prices are inclusive and based on a per person system, 2 people may share 1 rod, but not 3 or 4
people using 1 rod.

If you have your own fishing equipment a 10% discount will be applied but you will not recieve a free
 bucket of bait.

If you are staying at our guesthouse the fishing is free but you must purchace the bait...

Additional bait may be purchased here:

Small bucket of paste 30B
Large bucket of paste 60B

Flavoured ground bait 20B a bag

As you can see the bait prices are very reasonable, so a days fishing here will not break the bank.


Rules..

This is a catch and release fishing park so all fish must be returned to the water as soon as possible,
unharmed, please do not throw them back,place them back gently so they may recover from there fight.

Barbless hooks to be used at all times, to limit any damage to the fish.

Maximum 2 rods per fisherman.

Do not leave rods unatended as they are frequently pulled into the lake due to people not paying attention....
(please do not play on facebook while fishing) you will be charged for a lost rod..

Many of our fish are quite large now so you CAN NOT rush the fish when you are playing it, you must take your
time and bring it in slowly and always use the landing nets provided.

PiranhaPark Fishing Tours To Chaing Mai

Piranha Park Fishing Tours To Chaing Mai

Once in a while we run fishing trips down to Chaing Mai's Bo Sang Lake, these prove not only to be a good excuse to get very drunk (big Leo beer at this place is only 50B a bottle) but also to catch some huge fish...

Over the past 4 years that I have been fishing here we have never failed to catch, and some days we have to bring the rods in out of pure exhaustion.

 Bo Sang to the Thais is stocked primarily with giant Mekon catfish and stripped catfish, both these variety's are extremely hard fighting and often smash through the tackle we use. The average size of these monsters is between 8 and 20kg but sometimes we do hook into something a lot bigger. The lake record is around the 35kg mark but the biggest I've ever seen is 22kg (48lb)..but whatever size fish you catch, it's great fun...

Please note fishing exsperiance is vital for these trips

The tour's that I run normally start off from Pai at 6 in the morning, so we arrive at the lake at around 9. We normally try to arrange it this way so you can do your fishing trip on the day you are leaving Pai and therefore don't have to return back up the mountain and get travel sick more than is necessary......!!!!!!!

All trips include: pick up from your Guesthouse to the lake and drop off in Chaing Mai, Full set of quality fishing equipment, all the bait (which is often quite a lot) and the entrance fee to the lake. Also a picnic style pack lunch is supplied.

Prices

• Single person 2000B

• 2 people 1800B each

• 3 people 1600B each

• 4 people 1300B each

We take a maximum of 4 people otherwise it can get very difficult, especially if everyone has a fish on at the same time. These prices are for the full day's fishing 9am to 5pm.

If you are staying in Chaing Mai then the price will be reduced accordingly. But please note that we only come down to Chaing Mai if there is 3 or more that wish to go fishing.

Swimming with the Piranha

Many people ask if you can go swimming' well here is your answer...... Yes you can but you normally have to be very drunk......

We regually have BBQ's and Party's and quite freqently they end up with somebody diving in the lake...

Short video of us releasing some good size catfish.

Just press play and go and do something else for 10min's, can take a while to load sometimes!!!!!
