Each peg is nicely laid out with a comfy chair, large sunshade, small table, cold box, rod rests and unhooking mat. All fishing must be pre-booked as opening hours are restricted.

John is a top guy as mentioned above.
Castaway Fishing Park is the perfect settings for a relaxing day with great fishing.
I have been fishing most of the famous parks in Bangkok, Pattaya and Ratchaburi and with a visiting family from Denmark (including my 4 years old Nephew and 2 years old Niece). We really wanted to chose a suitable fishing avenue, so everybody would be able to enjoy an exciting day of fishing.
John CARES about his customers and within 20 mins from arrival, we was seated in a nice shadowed area, had 2 baits in the water and full information on what to do to increase our chances.
The day was full of action we enjoyed catching: Alligator gar, Siamese Carp, Catla Carp and Red tail catfish.
Also a big thanks to our guide “Ott” who was there all the time to help and showing us some great tactics to lure the predators to bite.
Castaway fishing Park has only one goal and that is to provide their customers with exciting fishing and enjoyable time. They did exactly this for us and we will for sure be back again…
A+++ recommendation from our side.
Thanks again John.
Just visit this park today. Had a great time staff very helpfull and great catches red tale catfish and arapaima. John and his thai wife are very friendly and also thanks to pom the thai boy who works there overall a super day thank you john and his wife. They spend a lot of money on nice fish and the accomodation
This place is something special. Being a long term Expat I have fished pretty much all of the local fishing parks, but Castaway is amazing!!
John (bearded Jim) and his wife (YoYo) are also very good hosts and make you feel very welcome.
I have been back to Castaway Fishing Park every week since it’s been re-opened and you can’t wish for a better day. There are a great range of fish species and they are all in very good condition.
Thank you Castaway Fishing Park
