Whether you live in Thailand or are just visiting our beautiful country, check out these 5 adrenaline-packed experiences. Definitely not recommended for the faint of heart!
1. Rock climbing
Thailand boasts a number of places to literally scale new heights, from the spectacular cliffs of the Phi Phi Islands in Phang Nga to the gorgeous limestone karsts of Railay beach in Krabi. Whether you are a novice or seasoned pro, there is something for every skill level. Just bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to tackle climbs amid the backdrop of some of the world’s most stunning beaches.
2. Skydiving
There’s nothing more thrilling than jumping out of a plane, and getting a bird’s eye view of the land and sky. Pattaya’s just the place for such an adventure, with two professional skydiving centres, a mild climate and lots of safe landing spots. Anyone in good health can do a tandem jump with an instructor. You’ll get a briefing on the safety features, equipment and what to expect. Just take a deep breath and go for it!
3. Kite Surfing
Where there’s wind, there’s a way… for kite surfing, that is! In Thailand, kite surfing, which is a combination of wakeboarding, windsurfing and
paragliding, has really taken off. There are kite surfing spots (and schools) in Phuket, Chumpon, Huahin, Pattaya, Samui and Koh Phangan. Open flat water is ideal for catching the breeze – hang on!
4. Scuba Diving
Surrounded by the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea, Thailand features plenty of scuba diving opportunities. Here, you can explore ringing reefs, deep drop-offs, wrecks, caverns and more. Whether your base is in Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Koh Lanta, Pattaya or Koh Chang, contact a PADI certified scuba operator to get started. An exhilarating new underwater world awaits!
5. Zip-lining
Get back to nature and cruise above lush jungles at speeds of almost 50 miles an hour! Thailand offers a number of zip-line rainforest adventures, from Samui to Chiang Mai. Find a reputable operator, slip on that harness and enjoy an awe-inspiring ride above some of Thailand’s most awesome indigenous forests.
