Fishing the Chaophraya river Thailand Bangkok. แพตกปลาไผ่เขียว Fishing in Thailand

I visited a raft on the Chaophraya river Pathum Thani named pair-dok-blar-pi-keaw Bang-Thai แพตกปลาไผ่เขียว บางไทร. The raft is about 1hr from Bangkok, and you can rent it for 500B for a 12hr session from 6am to 6pm or 6pm to 6am the next day. The owner of the raft Mr Arm is a nice guy and is more than willing to help you out. They sell bread, Ram, worms, and live shrimp at the raft. I took my own bait as you never know what you will find at some of these venues but having seen the shop you could buy from them. They have a good selection of bait in the shop and some fishing tackle like feeders, weights, and line.

The river is very wide here with 3 rivers joining together a little way up stream. Mr Arm told me it’s the widest part of the Chaophraya river. If you look at the Facebook page the guys fishing here, seem to take out plenty of the small scale Crockers. This was my target, but it didn’t happen this time. Mr Arm said the best time to fish for a Crocker is at night so maybe a return visit is needed. I did however get a Marble sand gobby of a reasonable size a Bony lip barb of almost 1kg and a soldier river barb / From the river so no complaints. We got a good few tinfoil barb’s also, but they were very small, so they didn’t feature in the video.
