This is the Majestic Stingray of Bang Pakong, Bangkok - Thailand. It was said it could grow to approximately 600kg in weight! It has another name called " Himantura ChaoPhraya" or common name "WhipRay" Click on my ray for more information regarding this species or you can click here directly!

This is me and my group who fished together in Bang Pakong river. This fishing requires a Professional Guide and Assistant who knows the river at the back of his head. Without this Guide, is as good as throwing away your money into the sea!!!! From the left : Khun Laem (Thai), Akiba-san (Japan), Me (Singapore), Mr.Heng (Malaysian) and lastly our Guide, Khun Krit (Thai) Khun Krit is well-versed in English and he had already guided many Europeans a few years back in the same river.

Fishing is done on this wooden platform secured by bamboo poles. This is actually a Sea-Bass breeding farm which is owned by Mr.Krit's good friend. (Warning : Please do not attempt to go there by yourself without the Guide's permission as you will not be able to enter the farm)

We used Heavy gears ranging from 80lb to 130lb class rods and reels, Lines from 80lb to 200lb. Hooks size from 13/0 onwards. Lucky for us, We did not break any rods or reels!!!!
