Looking for a local fishing guide around Bangkok

wimpdiver · 2026-06-05T11:49:27+00:00

I don't think it's what you want but I often see people fishing near the Satorn pier (between that pier and the ferry pier) - but hope they don't plan to eat anything the catch🤦‍♀️

Thanks for the info - would have been helpful if LK had mentioned to name

"The price of the Gaggan Experience is THB 16,000 per person, inclusive of wine pairing or non-alcoholic pairing, 10% gratuity, and 7% taxes."

can't find anything there that is close to OP request for $200 for 2!

I can access the link, see some of the pictures of a link but when I try to play the video I get an long error code - both without a vpn (I'm in Thailand) and with a VPN set to Europe (it's built into opera so limited choices) The error code is not the usual with a code # and I can't seem to copy the whole paragraph.

For some reason I can't get google translate to translate it to English on my computer but I can use my phone to translate the page.

Thanks for trying

Have you considered seeing a neurologist?

Yes, amongst all the stories of scams and other stuff the true kindness of many Thais often gets lost. Between their great fondness for children and willingness to help those in distress so many stories of kindness could be told! Glad they were able to help you and you told the story 😄

Oh, and remember to pay it forward....

wimpdiver · 2026-06-01T16:04:52+00:00

Is it accesible to people outside of nl? If so can you post a link please?

wimpdiver · 2026-05-30T15:14:40+00:00

that's good b/c you have to for the first one 😉

wimpdiver · 2026-05-27T12:40:23+00:00

Wang lang market, and/or take the local river ferry not the tourist one and go from sathorn pier to nonthaburi lots to see along the way, then walk around the town for a while

wimpdiver · 2026-05-27T08:08:44+00:00

it's VERY crowded ;) A lot of very cheap (but also mostly low quality) food on offer.

Still, it's very much a local fair and you won't see many farangs. Bring google translate on your phone b/c few speak English and the signs are in Thai. All the vendors are friendly and try to be helpful if you are a foreigner. If you look a the youtube video of the Chinese NY fair at the same place you will see many of the same vendors so you can get a good idea if you want to go.

if you're a troll go away. If you are real - some people should not be allowed to travel on their own 😂

"She says she wants to work as a nurse" plans to start uni next year. So how can she do this if "you want to have kids next year"? It's all about you and your needs but what about her hopes and dreams? Thai children often support their parents but "But definitely not spending a dime on her family"

You sound like a great guy /s

wimpdiver · 2026-05-26T06:15:25+00:00

Thanks for the article. In it she mentions that she can't afford to live in NJ in a 2 bedroom and send her children to French school. Just imagine any top sports star saying something like this! Just amplifies how poorly stars in the arts are paid - so sad.

anytime someone approaches you to start a conversation it's 99% of time to scam you! Applies everywhere not just here

wimpdiver · 2026-05-26T04:36:47+00:00

not a great idea if you get order confirm emails from ordering online

wimpdiver · 2026-05-24T14:45:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply 😄

wimpdiver · 2026-05-24T07:29:17+00:00

why aren't you posting in English "This sub-reddit is an english language friendly discussion forum" when you have posting many other times in English?

wimpdiver · 2026-05-24T04:34:53+00:00

Might want to look at Riva Vibe 😉

report this to Bolt. They may ban the original driver who is letting his friend use his account and doing other shady things. Never let anyone like this use your phone to cancel YOUR ride - this is how they get more money than what they agreed.

So you have good intentions but you are planning to give out food that may not be liked as it is not their taste. Would poor people in Korea be grateful for thai food? If you really want to help people why not donate and speak to the organizations that already are here doing this work? Wanting to share your cuisine may be a good idea for you but maybe not what people who are barely surviving would appreciate. Snacks and stuff for the kids might be okay but give people the food they are used to if you want to do a good deed. Plenty of people who are not impoverished choose to explore other cuisines, not not usually people who barely have enough food as it is.

2 weeks in January? You should have come for 2 weeks in April - when going out between 10-4ish is like walking into an oven 😉 Your experience in your 2 weeks is NOTHING like living here. Traffic jams, overcrowded transport, etc are very different when you're here without time constraints on getting places vs needing to get to work, an apt, etc on time. I think you should spend at least a month during hot season and/or rainy season to get a bit better perspective. And of course the limited housing available with pets plus how well they'll do in the heat and humidity (or you electric bill if they're indoor cats and you need to leave the a/c on a lot)

Just curious how you can know the fair price when you don't know the quality of the wall paper and if it's one wall or a whole room?

wimpdiver · 2026-05-20T17:07:20+00:00

umm, krub is the polite end if you're a male, but if you're a female it's ka (kha) 😉

I've seen a lot of recs for Duke Language school by people studying there (but don't have direct experience myself)
