Koh Samui, Thailand

Our next day was rather a fruitful day. We bought two tickets for 'BIG GAME FISHING' each 1500 baht. The mini van took us from the inn to the Big Buddha pier. Altogether there's 8 of us, we boarded a chartered speedboat. Our Thai guide roughly briefed us about the weather and sea conditions. Then he taught us how to use the fishing rod and the technique of fishing.

The boat trawled for familar spot, the captain planned for us to catch big ones especially the barracuda & red snappers. We were given our own fishing rod & sotong bait to hook on. The first medium size fish was caught by a uropean tourist. It was a grouper...enough for the 8 of us lunch.

The second, third and fourth was another European tourist. They caught small sizes mackerels. They were anxious to catch grouper and other type of fish.

We trawled to another fishing spot and finally the captain brought us to kho pha ngan's famous beach Haad Rin (also world-famous full moon party take place). He also prepared our lunch, they have everything on board-frying pan, cooking stove and gas. They deep fried the grouper which was the first fish caught by one of the European guest. They served us lunch, fried rice, vegetables, curry and the grouper. The grouper was soo fresh straight out from the ocean.
