gray42 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Are there any? I'd love to make some traps and have myself a crawfish boil. I know some people raise them here, but I'd really like to catch them. Any info on this you could provide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Why don't you make some traps, bait them up and then tell us all in a few days if there are native crawfish in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phronesis Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 You obviously have a phosphate and mercury deficiency in your diet. Just eat a handful of fertilizer and a thermometer and your crayfish craving will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray42 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Why don't you make some traps, bait them up and then tell us all in a few days if there are native crawfish in Thailand I'm pretty sure there's none in my local area. There are freshwater crab and prawns I see people catch, but never crawfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just eat a handful of fertilizer and a thermometer and your crayfish craving will pass. I don't always eat what I catch but I still like to sometimes, including the bottom feeders. The waterways here aren't the cleanest, but if you're that scared then you should avoid ordering crab, catfish, tilapia, clams, or any other animal people catch in risky areas.

Jotham79 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 As far as I am aware there are no wild stocks of crawfish in thailand. There used to be a couple of comercial sources, but I have heard nothing in a while. Try the prawns, they're just as tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phronesis Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have it on good authority that you can catch crabs in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbkk Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I caught these in my last trip to Spain with a home made trap. I think Thailand is just shrimp/prawns. See loads of tiny ones in reservoirs and the huge freshwater prawns in the rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have seen them sold in Surin. Tiny and very small claws. There's a Thai word for them Kûng n̂ả cụ̄d , กุ้งน้ำจืด Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Out of curiosity, how do they grow the blue ones, red ones, white ones, etc that I see at Chatuchuk Market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinbkk Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Out of curiosity, how do they grow the blue ones, red ones, white ones, etc that I see at Chatuchuk Market? Different species I expect. The blue colour comes from copper being the main component of their blood instead of iron like us. 'After hemoglobin, hemocyanin is the second most commonly encountered blood pigment, and plenty of other arthropods (including lobsters, crabs of the nonhorseshoe variety, and assorted insects) and mollusks (among them snails and octopuses) have blue, copper-based blood' Edited February 25, 2013 by jackinbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
