All 25 fish locations on Thailand in Creatures of the Deep.

Thailand offers a return to a more balanced fishing experience, with a map size comparable to Great Lakes and a population of 25 fish species. While the overall difficulty stays in line with the previous Scotland region, the real variation comes from individual encounters rather than the map itself. Some fish feel straightforward to locate and farm, while others quietly stand out due to rarity or specific conditions like time of day or shadowless appearances. Exploration remains fairly accessible, and most players quickly learn the main fishing zones, though a few species still manage to slow progression through patience-based encounters.

Map highlights: notable Fish on Thailand in Creatures of the Deep.

rice eel

Rice eel sits in an odd spot where it is technically considered a common fish, yet in practice it can feel surprisingly infrequent. It is found in the northern part of the map, often requiring repeated visits before it shows up consistently. The fish is shadowless and appears only at night, which already narrows down the timing window and makes each attempt feel a bit more deliberate. Patience is usually the main factor here, especially for players trying to secure larger specimens for aquarium purposes.

yellow mystus

Yellow mystus is generally approachable, though it carries a slight unpredictability that makes it feel less straightforward than its difficulty suggests. Most players start their search in the northern part of the main island, but sightings can also happen unexpectedly across the map, almost as if the fish occasionally drifts outside its usual pattern. It appears only at night and is shadowless, which adds a small layer of timing restriction without turning the hunt into something overwhelming.

malayan leaffish

Malayan leaffish is one of those species that does not really resist the player in terms of mechanics, but instead in consistency. It is usually tracked down in the southern part of the main island, where repeated passes tend to yield results without too much effort. Its difficulty is considered low, yet the pacing can feel uneven depending on how the map is being explored at the time. Beyond regular farming, it also carries a competitive relevance in clanwars, where players often accumulate it in large quantities to support lure progression.

giant freshwater whipray

Giant freshwater whipray stands out mostly because of how frustratingly rare it can feel during actual hunts. It appears as a shadowless fish during daytime, which already sets a strict condition for encounters. Even when the timing is correct, sightings remain inconsistent, and progress often depends on persistence more than strategy. Pink baits are almost a necessity to improve chances, making preparation an important part of the process. Interestingly, its difficulty led to adjustments in clanwar requirements, removing it from certain competitive expectations.

mekong giant catfish

Mekong giant catfish is an epic and emblematic fish of the Thailand zone. It is not particularly difficult to obtain, but players may still need to use a few pink baits to improve their chances of encountering it. Its behavior is strictly limited to nighttime activity only, which naturally narrows the fishing window and makes each attempt more structured. While it does not stand out as a punishing catch compared to rarer species, its status makes it a memorable target when it finally appears.
