The 4 Best Fishing Trips with Lunch in Thailand

1.Koh Samui: Mr.Ung’s Private Fishing/Boat Trip/Snorkeling/BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 61 reviews · 6h 30m Our pick

Spend about six and a half hours on a shaded wooden boat with Mr. Ung’s crew, fishing around Koh Taen and Koh Mudsum, snorkeling when sea conditions allow, and eating a fish BBQ onboard. Hotel pickup, equipment, water, a licensed guide, and accident insurance are included. The boat can carry up to 15 people, though private bookings keep your group together.

“The tour guide picked us up at the hotel early. There were 5 participants on the trip so it wasn"t crowded at all. We had a good couple hours of clear skies to get some fishing in before it started to rain and become windy. It was my first time fishing but I caught three! We had fried rice and fish bbq for lunch. Since it started to rain we voted to forego the snorkeling in favor of more fishing, but eventually we had to return earlier than scheduled. Tour guide operator dropped us back off at the hotel. Overall good experience, despite the weather.”

2.Phuket: Game Fishing and Trolling Boat Trip with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 40 reviews · 8 hours · from $125

Spend eight hours trolling and bottom fishing from Ao Chalong to Racha Yai, with a guide and crew helping you handle the gear. Your catch may become fresh sashimi or part of lunch on board. The day also includes swimming, snorkeling, soft drinks, fruit, hotel transfers, and a return cruise.

“The whole trip was very well organised, from the hotel pick ups, booking in at the tour operator's office and boarding the boat at the pier. The guide and 2 crew were friendly and very helpful, especially during the fishing. Soft drinks and snacks were available at all times. The deep sea trolling was a success and we caught 8 tuna with 3 escapees. Lunch was very good with the opportunity to eat our catch with swimming and snorkeling if you wanted to, before setting off again to try bottom fishing. Again a success with 7 caught. Back into Phuket and a transfer back to the hotel. Very enjoyable”
