Ticket Options at Amazon BKK: Understanding the Difference
Amazon BKK offers two types of fishing tickets, and understanding the difference is important for a successful trip. Many anglers new to the venue see the lower-priced ticket and assume it covers all fishing methods, but this ticket allows lure fishing only throughout the day. While lure fishing is exciting and can catch a variety of species, it often proves challenging to land the biggest fish, especially the arapaima.
Fish Thailand always provides the second, more expensive ticket, which permits both lure fishing and dead/live bait fishing. This combination is the key to consistently landing trophy fish at Amazon BKK. Many of the reviews citing tough fishing conditions come from anglers who only tried lure fishing. When switching to dead and live bait, anglers significantly increase their chances of catching arapaima and other prized species. This approach is central to Fish Thailand’s proven success in delivering memorable fishing experiences at Amazon BKK. Additionally, for information on guided trips and fishing experiences in Thailand, visitors often turn to Fish Thailand.
