Thailand - Spearfishing Holidays

Anybody interested in coming to Thailand for a spearfishing trip within the next 2 months please get in touch! You will need to bring your own gear though!
I have good budget south/central Thailand accommodation for even large groups (10 ish) who are prepared to make ad hoc arrangements. Transport links to some of the best spearfishing spots in the world can be arranged using minibuses and traditional longtail boats.
I am a beginner at this so you will need to discuss your requirements with me before making any commitments... I am however very flexible and probably aiming more towards the budget end of spearo trips to Thailand. I can also promise you a holiday of a lifetime though... what a country!

7 months and I'm staying another year at least... I've got this large house until August and then I'm moving further North.

Cool... you can take your pick from Nakhon Si Thammarat in the north or Hat Yai in the south or for internal flights from Bangkok, Trang is a 45 minute minibus ride away.
PM me if you want any further info... always fancied teaching in Japan too... small world innit

Re: Thailand - Spearfishing Holidays

I'll do some research on the area. Do you know any spots around your area for spearfishing? And do you know what the regs are in regards to bringing spearguns into the country?

Was also wondering your level in spearfishing?

Do I know some spots... or what? Oh yes indeed. We're coming into the dry-ish season so vis is really picking up now even around the mainland... the island spots however are crystal all year round. I saw the largest black tip I've ever seen a few weeks back... skittish but bloody magnificent!
Regarding regs I'm not sure if there are any... just either dismantle if possible or box it up as fishing equipment. I backpacked here so dismantled and had no issues whatsoever.
I've been spearfishing for 40 years... old but ethical!

Re: Thailand - Spearfishing Holidays

Awesome. I'm off to Bali this month, but in July I'll have more time. Maybe I'll come to Thailand and hit up some spots.

I want to try out a newly built gun so looking to do as much spearing as possible this summer.
