Having read all the previous posts, I thought it time to put in my opinion (for what it's worth!). I have fished Sabai Sabai regularly since it opened. Compared to other fishing parks in the area (and I think I've fished them all) I consider it top notch. If you are looking to catch big striped catfish (pla sawai) by the boatload - forget it. If, however, you are looking for good sport (and there are some good sized fish that will give you a good run for your money), a pleasant atmosphere, decent food, attentive staff and reasonable prices you could do a lot worse than giving Sabai Sabai an opportunity to show what they have on offer. The main pond holds many Nile Tilapia (pla nin) that are reasonably easy to catch (if you know how to fish!) and some large specimens of Pacu (pla jaramet) can be tempted with many different bait methods. I believe that several Siamese Carp (pla coho) have been introduced a couple of weeks ago. Whilst not yet giants, this species at around the 8-10 kilo mark (I think that's the size they are here) are extremely strong and will definitely be on my 'target' list over the next few weeks.
As fish are caught (and if purchased) the pond is restocked on a regular basis to ensure levels are kept up.
It was also refreshing to see a set of 'rules' posted (in English and Thai) in the salas. This should help everyone by ensuring the quality and health of the fish whether for eating or just sport. May it continue in this vein so that many pleasurable days can be had by me and anyone else who fishes this well-run location.
