This time, we obviously had wised up. So on our first morning in Bangkok, we were eagerly waiting below our hotel for the transport to bring us to the barramundis. We were quoted 2000 Baht for return transport to Boon Ma, in addition to the 1000 Baht guide fees. As we thought that was very expensive, we asked for the address so that we could take a taxi there ourselves. Interestingly, despite repeated requests for the address of Boon Ma, the guide answered every one of our questions... except for that one. Hmm...
Well, with no way of telling taxi drivers how to drive there, we had no choice but to accept the 'package'. Luckily, Andrew, who chanced upon our website/blog and happened to be in Bangkok on business a few days before our trip, got in contact and asked if he could join us. We of course welcomed his addition to our group, as it meant someone to share the costs with! Hehe... (Just kidding, Andrew!)
Anyway, after an hour's ride, we arrived at the farm around 10am. After a quick word with someone who seemed to be the owner/manager, our guide brought us to a pond which was right in front of a small 'house' that had a toilet attached. Without further ado, we set up our rods, chose a lure, and set out to molest the fish in the pond. *cue - evil laughter*
House-like shelter in the middle of the rows of ponds.
The farm workers set this up when we moved to the pond beside.
Introducing... the players of the match!
Ok, I still have a lot to say but I don't like very long posts. So I shall continue tomorrow, yes? *cue - more evil laughter*
To be continued... ;p
