TopCats Fishing Resort in Koh Samui combines accommodation in lakeside bungalows, an onsite restaurant and the best freshwater fishing in Samui. Located in Taling Ngam, on the southwestern side of the island, this attractive complex is built around a large L-shaped lake spread across 24,000 sqm with a depth of 8 metres. The lake is filled with over 4,000 fish including specimens of the world’s largest freshwater fish species, such as the giant Mekong catfish, alligator gar, and arapaima.

This eco-friendly project allows fish to grow naturally in a clean environment and offers visitors the challenge of battling against animals that can weigh up to 150 kg. TopCats management and team are passionate about fishing and committed to providing the best conditions in and around the lake to all those who share their passion for this challenging activity.
