There is no Omer dealer in Thailand, in fact there is one store in Bangkok that sells guns and gear it is called The Old Siam it's at china town. The sell mostly Cressi and a couple of Bauchet guns too. There is a shop in Pattaya owned by Andy (on this thread) and he has a good selection of gear, shafts, tips, line and custom carbon rail guns too. I order most of my gear through the net, if these two guys don't have it. I am due a shipment of 20mm bulk rubber if you want a few some let me know pronto and i can sort you out.
Are there any good spearo shops where you are? Do you get to do any blue water hunting?? I am prepared to fly down there if you know some good spots/trips for blue water.
By the way i mean BKK - Pattaya for central thailand, Kananaburi is good for fresh water aswell.

Hi, all!
I am from Russia, therefore I am sorry for my English in advance.
Last year I had some spearfishing in Samui, it wasn't much fun due to shallow waters and bad visibilty (it is short season when you can catch clear water in November and early winter as locals told me). Also I went to Koh Tao, that place was incredible, but I did not use spear as it was national park and too many divers were around.
This winter I will go to Thailand again, and this time I plan to stay in Krabi province. Could you advise, if there are good places for spearfishing nearby. What part of province (mainland, not islands) would you recommend to have some fun off the shore or around with local boatmen (fishermen, but not commercial taxi boats).
By myslef I am good swimmer, working depth 8-16 m, hunt for reef fish (snappers, croakers) and not huge pellagics.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The best places seem to be marine-parks over there:
All the coast from krabi-town to the west and further up to laem-teng (beautiful !!), and also the poda-island are protected!!
Also the hole area around Phi Phi Island is a marine park.
(even if there are many game-fishing boats seen all the time at Hin klang)

but I am pretty sure, still many locals still spearfishing there ,
it's Thailand
cheers

Nice, thank you!
I hope to be legal, that’s why I am not aimed to Koh Lipe or Phi Phi area or at least to be quiet in the area where I not annoy divers and they don’t annoy me.
As far as I understand spearfishing is officially prohibited in the whole coastal area of Western Krabi but is not really prosecuted? Hope there are no herds of tourists and divers, most of them go to the islands.
Still, I hope to find local by long tail boat to travel to quiet places nearby.
What about southern part of province and Koh Lunta, which are not marked by green lines? Is there any fun or plain bottom?

Split That Between A Few Of Us And It Is Plenty Cheap.

I'll be in Thailand in November, also Laos...just to through another wrench in the gears, does anyone know about spearing in Laos? Freedive spearing, of course.
Interesting. We do spearfishing in fresh water in Russia, persoanlly I like rivers and lakes of glacial origin in the North, but all freshwater I saw in such rainy region as South-East Asia was mostly brown-murky.
Anyway, if you know anything special, it can be very interesting.
