No rod restrictions hear, 12 rods for only a few guys
The only bait used around hear, dough with banana, chocolate, bamboo, and cocoanut flavoring
A 200 pound arapiama as a pet
Some of these fish put up a good fight
Some nice striped catfish
A coil feeder, the idea is as the bait falls off the fish suck in the pieces and eventually a hook
Climbing Perch
A fat Rohu
One of the coolest fish hear a Silver Featherback
The days catch consisted mostly of Common Silver Barb
Big Rohu
Sweet post dude! Wish I would have fished while I was there! I spent too much time in the bars chasing women, drinking and fighting 
. I spent a few weeks in Sameson and a few weeks in Korat during Operation Cobra Gold. I LOVED IT THERE AND WILL SOMEDAY GO BACK! Was a Beautiful Country with awesome people!
Very true, this January I'm going to try for a Giant Freshwater stingray, the largest freshwater fish in the world over 1,500 pounds! 
Travel fishing is the way to do it; find some locals and try to learn; that rigging is wild in my eyes but the tactics and styles around the world are drastically different and cool to see.
Just an average fisherman.
Ya, every thing is different hear, a cast net doesn't sloes at the bottom, instead the fish have to get stuck in the net to be caught, and the other day I caught a little fish, put a hook through it and tossed it out to see what I could catch, later I was told nothing will eat it (their are a few fish, but apparently it is very uncommon to catch them), no split shot sinkers hear, and no fisherman carries plyers, how crazy is that 
But they do have the fish, so I will learn their ways and bring them back state side
WOW way cool !!Love getting a dose of Asian style fishing and the exotic fish encountered .Thanks for the post.
