Not Included:

Airfares, airport transfers, hotel accommodation, dinner and alcohol. However, if required we will arrange airport collection and transfers, and book accommodation for you at any of the recommended Mae Sariang accommodation options.

Accommodation: most people prefer to stay in one location and travel outward daily. Nearly all fishing locations are within an hour of the town of Mae Sariang. The most expensive accommodation in town is a modest US$65 per night in peak season… Staying in town allows you to do a little shopping and experience local restaurants. Alternatively, the more adventurous angler might enjoy homestay in a Karen village for a night or two, staying close to the river to maximise the fishing time.

Note on Operating Costs

NG River Guides operational costs are quite significant. The terrain is often rugged, 4WD vehicles are usually essential and diesel is US$3.30 a gallon here. Access to the Karen village Protection Zones is a substantial cost because NG River Guides guarantee that we will:

• Pay each Karen village community directly for the privilege of access to their unique fishery.
• Pay a daily fishing fee per person varying from US$15 to US$25 depending on the zone size.
• At least 1 Karen villager is employed to assist at each village… approx $10 per day.

In any given day, you will usually get to fish two or more Protection Zones, and those fees add up over a couple of days fly fishing.

The NG River Guides mission is to ensure that a demonstrably fair and generous proportion of our revenue goes directly to the villages that support the Fly Fishing Only, Catch & Release project.

The “Fly Fishing Only, Catch & Release” concept has found favour here, and your support of our guiding services makes a valuable contribution to conservation of the unique fisheries resource that we are blessed with.
