Fishing off Koh Samui

Posted by Full mooner on June 16th, 2010 filed in Action, Tourist tips, sightseeing

There are many activities to enjoy while holidaying on Koh Samui from swinging on zip lines through the jungle to visiting interesting sights such as the Big Buddha statue, the Mummified Monk or even the Tiger Zoo. Another trip that is growing in its popularity is fishing.
I’m not talking about fishing on a lake but rather out at sea where big fish can be caught. Not being a big fan of boats myself, I have not had the chance to experience it but many friends say it offers excellent value for money.
Depending on how many people you can get together, the half or full-day trips can cost as little as 1,000 baht. This price includes transfer, food and water for the day as well as equipment and bait. Night fishing trips are also available and can offer a welcome break from the endless of nights of beer intake!
Over fishing is a problem in this part of Thailand due to trawler boats illegally dragging nets over coral reefs. There are many reputable companies around Samui so make sure you ask a few questions before booking a trip to make these guys know what they are doing.
