  • Bloody Fishing in Thailand rip offs

    Just wanna share with everyone something that happened to me at Exotic Fishing Thailand that I was in complete shock about after finding out how they treats their loyal paying customers.


    Just recently I booked up a trip for 4 days at with them. I was asked to pay in full 4 months ago to lock a certain price for 5 days fishing and also staying in the Bungalow for this amount of time and I did send this amount which for professional reasons I won't disclose on this page. About a few weeks later so still in the month of July I found out I couldn't get the time off work for the 5 days fishing plus my holiday there so spoke to them about changing me trip from 5 days to 4 days and this was done 4 months in advance before I arrived there.

    I clearly said and have proof to keep the 8000 baht there for me in credit so I will use this amount to pay for my food, drink and taxi bill and what I found sneaky was no confirmation from them confirming this but of course as a loyal customer being my 3rd trip to go there in this calendar year spending thousands of my hard earned money to fish and stay there I obviously expected this to be the case as I sent too much money on the transfer. I work offshore and make good money, but I dont like to piss it away neither.


    I don't want to go on too much but the plane I was on with Air Asia had a left engine problem and I was on the plane for 3 hours as it didn't take off and we had to go back to the parking bay again. Finally i got off at Jakarta airport which was where I was leaving from and for a further 6 hours waiting for the next flight there. I was in contact with them straight away as soon as my flight was delayed explaining the situation and finally I got to Phuket Airport around 2.30pm and arrived at EFT around 4.15pm. I told them I had no sleep and just had the trip from hell so just wanna sleep and can't even think of fishing but they kept pushing me to fish which I found unprofessional. when I saw what them was trying to do to me and I'm still upset and hurt with his actions.


    They came to me with a piece of paper explaining that he will give me a so called amount of "Credit" which totaled 13000 baht that I can use next time I come to EFT. At this point I was shocked and said I will most probably never come back here again so will use a part of this amount to pay my food, drink and taxi bill and then take the remaining amount of cash with me for my holiday as this was all CASH that I transferred 4 months ago but they was adamant it's company policy and I would have to use this credit the way he foresees it and would still have to pay my food, drink and taxi bill with money I had with me at the time. I was in complete shock and upset with their offer and told him to go away and leave me alone so I can enjoy my fishing.


    Around 2 hours later after I sent them the most logical truthful message on how I feel robbed with his deal and with a threat of I would share this with everyone i know. They then give me a last offer of cash but would still take the money from me on the day I missed due to no fault of my own as my flight was delayed due to mechanical failure.

    I just want fellow fisherman to be aware of what happened to me as I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else and it's best to know the truth and who your dealing with when paying money in advance in FULL and then being scammed with a horrible credit deal that doesn't make sense at all. I've spoken to a few well travelled experienced anglers who said other Fisheries Like Gillhams and Jurassic refunded the Money straight away to them in the same scenarios as with genuine proof of there stories so not missed flights because of partying and hangovers etc.


    Good luck to everyone Fishing in Thailand. I've been 4 times now and going again next year. It's amazing what all the fisheries are doing and I'm truly thankful for the magical experiences I've had so far, even though my last one wasn't nice from the EFT management point of view. The Fishing is always great there especially for Aripaima. I personally won't be going again but good luck to anyone who does and just make sure the deal you make is perfectly clear before going ahead.

        I visited TC a few times as a guest but had to stop. It is a sickening place. - Aging One

          They seem pretty generous to me. When you book in advance, it is your responsibility to honor the commitment. They are running a business and have probably turned other customers away to be prepared for your trip. I understand that you are disappointed, but they have tried to make it right.

            " I found out I couldn't get the time off work for the 5 days "


            Should not have accepted that from your company. If they confirmed that those days would be free.

            If they hadn't confirmed that, you shouldn't have booked and fully paid in advance.

            Should be double pay for the day that was supposed to be off and later changed to on.

              The only fishing I enjoy is a game I have on TC, the net is filled up with my fish , then every thread in Thailand chatter section , displays my name.
