Largest Fishing Lake in Thailand
Located approximately 90 minutes from Bangkok, Giant Bang Len Fishing Lake covers more than 40 acres with facilities designed for a comfortable day outdoors.
Fishing takes place either from a luxury private fishing bungalow or from an allocated point along the “public” bank which is in the form of a long wooden boardwalk.
For more distant fishing spots, a vehicle is available to transport you directly to your chosen location, saving you a long walk. Wherever you decide to fish on the day, Fish Thailand arranges lunch delivery straight to your swim. This means you can relax, enjoy your meal and get straight back to fishing without leaving your chosen spot.
Public Bank or Private Fishing Bungalow?
Giant Bang Len Fishing Lake offers a choice of fishing from the public banks or a private lakeside bungalow. The bungalow option adds a touch of luxury, with an air-conditioned room, toilet, shower and a large fishing deck. It’s also ideal for non-fishing guests and family members who want to relax in comfort while you fish.
Choosing a bungalow isn’t essential for a great day’s fishing, however. Weekdays are often quieter, making the public banks an excellent option for anglers who simply want to focus on fishing. At weekends, the lake can be busier, so a private bungalow provides more space and privacy away from other anglers.
You can choose your preferred fishing option when booking. Whether you opt for the public banks or a luxury bungalow, you’ll enjoy access to this impressive fishing venue and its wide variety of fish.
