    Giant Snakeheads Isaan

    in Fishing in Thailand

    Posted

    Thanks for all your replies, I have spoken with the guide and he says that the water level will be too low when I am there next month, so that is a shame.

    Anyone got any other ideas? I would really like to fish in the wild instead of stocked lakes.

    in Fishing in Thailand

    Hi All,

    I am heading back to Khon Kaen next month and as much as I enjoy catfish and carp, I much prefer lure fishing and would really like to go for Giant Snakeheads.

    Now I don't have the first clue about catching them, Is there anywhere in Issan I can go?

    What sort of ground do they usually reside in? What lures? Surface?

    Any information at all would really be appreciated,

    Thanks,

    in Bangkok

    Hi Everyone,

    Can anybody recommend a good hotel near the British Embassy? I normally stay in Hotel Elizabeth near the bus station and haven't ventured this far in to the city for a few years smile.png. Not after a 5 star just somewhere nice.

    Thanks,

    Morning All,

    So heres my issue rented a house from a greedy old women about 3 years ago, we paid a 2,000 baht deposit on the deal that the last month we stay for free, we paid our last month and moved out on the 15th so only stayed half a month, I let her keep the deposit to pay electric and water bills, she is now calling up demanding 1,500 baht for the electricity which I am refusing to pay as she wont give the deposit back,

    On another note we paid 6,000 baht to repair the roof which I never asked back. We never signed a contract and the courts actually own the houses which she rents out,

    I have said to her she can either pay electric and forget about the rest or I'll pay the electric if she give's me 9,000 Baht (6K for roof, 2K for deposit, 1k for half month).

    Would i be correct in saying she doesn't stand a chance if she wants to make a problem out of this?

    I think it comes down to you being farang we have a couple of good vets near my house in a small town up north, and from what I have heard they are good, you would have to check if being a vet is not on the banned list (chances are it is), But aside's from that the way animals are treated here a lot of the time is disgusting so i would think about whether or not you can put up with that, also these vet's are generally for pigs, ox, buffalo and elephants, Dogs, cats etc seem to be classed as vermin in Isaan :) This is just my opinion though but I wish you the best of luck!

    Well technically he doesn't work but it was his money that bought the restaurant his wife runs, so am i right in saying if over 40,000 is deposited into a joint account he would qualify ?
