OUR STORY
Twenty years of chasing bigger fish
Established in 2006 and under new ownership since 2019, TopCats has grown into one of Thailand’s best known specimen lakes — six acres of tropical grounds around a five-acre lake, up to 27 feet deep, kept in the condition it takes to grow fish like these. Book a full day ticket and if you don’t catch, it’s on us.
Lakeside bungalows, the Poachers Paradise Restaurant and the One That Got Away Bar are all steps from the water, with Lamai’s nightlife a 20-minute taxi ride away when you want a change of pace.
LIFE AT THE LAKE
More than the catch
Between sessions — lakeside bungalows, the bar, group celebrations, and the Poachers Paradise kitchen.
