Greenfield Valley
There is no denying Hua Hin holds a special place in many people’s hearts. Considered by many to be the original beach resort destination in Thailand, there is an abundance of activities to enjoy here, and close by. As the Lonely Planet guide states, many guests love this place, and never set foot on sand. With this in mind, the Greenfield Valley Fishing Resort might be one of the temptations that keeps visitors occupied.
Fishing in Thailand is big business, and you have no shortage of resorts. One of the strengths of this resort is that while it is located close to a really great area, it is also removed from the world too. If you fish to relax and switch off, the Greenfield Valley Fishing Resort is an excellent destination.
Also, they have a lot of big fish, which is always a fantastic feature for a fishing resort to have.

- If you catch an Arapaima, this fish needs to be unhooked in the water
- If you catch a snakehead, you should control it with a Boga Grip before you unhook it
- When fishing with one of the Predator tickets, floats and free line fishing are not permitted
Also, while you can use your own tackle at the resort, it must be checked by the lead fishing guide. This is for your safety, and the safety of others. Requirements of your fishing tackle include:
- The Specimen Lake requires a minimum line of 80+ lbs
- The Kingfisher Lake requires a minimum line of 25+ lbs
Free-lines are not allowed, dead baits must circle hooks and all hooks must be barbless.
Are there additional packages available for the Greenfield Valley Fishing Resort?
While fishing is at the heart of what is on offer at the Greenfield Valley Fishing Resort, it is far from the full story. The resort prides itself on having additional activities for guests to enjoy, and the swimming pool is a star attraction.
The swimming pool is open from Monday to Saturday (so it is closed on Sunday), and the opening hours are 2pm to 5pm. There is a limited capacity for the pool, so on the sunniest days of the year, expect it to be busy.
If you are keen to go for a cooling dip, or you wish to lounge by the side of the pool, make sure you get along early. However, you can book your spot at the reception desk, which is handy if you are keen to plan ahead and secure your spot.
You also have the chance to socialise in style at the Greenfield Valley Fishing Resort. There is a complimentary wine and beer session, with light snacks available. The fun starts at 5.30pm, and again, you can book your place at the reception desk.
If you have enjoyed a great catch during the day, why not toast your success and look forward to more great days?
