All You Need To Know About Going Parasailing in Pattaya, Thailand

Parasailing in Pattaya, Thailand is one of the most exhilarating activities you can enjoy on the Gulf of this country. With an array of professional operators lining the coasts of Pattaya, there’s no shortage of opportunities for you to try this incredible activity. There’s nothing quite like being 300 feet up in the air overlooking Thailand’s calm Gulf waters. For something so thrilling, it’s easier to do than most people expect. Whether you’re a first-timer or returning for the view, this guide covers everything you need to know from what to expect, safety standards, and more.

What is Parasailing?

Parasailing is a recreational aerial activity. It involves being put into a harness attached to a parasail (a large canopy) and being lifted into the air by the forward momentum of a motorboat. The parasail is made of ripstop nylon, which is lightweight and strong material that is resistant to tearing. You can get up to 100 to 300 feet above the water. It is generally done to get a panoramic view of the ocean and its surrounding beach and tropical landscape. Meant for leisure and sightseeing combined, people enjoy it for the combination of thrill and tranquility. You are literally being taken for a ride: you do not control the parachute, speed of the boat, the tension of the rope attached to the boat, or even the air currents. It’s an experience where you have to trust entirely. The takeoff is where most of the thrill exists; once you are in the air, the height and peacefulness offer a deep sense of calm.

How Long Does Parasailing Usually Last?

A parasailing in Pattaya experience is usually about 30-45 minutes long. After this time, the boat slows slightly and the winch reels you back in. You descend gradually and land back on the launch area’s platform. The crew catches you upon touchdown and unclips the harness.

What To Expect When Parasailing

Parasailing in Pattaya for the first time can be an intimidating experience all together. To alleviate the anxiety of first-timers and provide perspective on what to expect for their parasailing experience, we provide a general outline on how the experience goes.

• Booking & Arrival – After securing a parasailing service with a reputable operator, you must travel to the designated beach and meeting point. Most parasailing experiences run out of Pattaya Beach, Jomtien Beach, or Dongtan Beach. Once you show up to the beach, sign a waiver and receive a safety rundown from the crew.
• Gearing Up – It’s time to strap you into the harness. The crew assists with this. It goes over your shoulders and around your thighs. The professional will check the connections and straps to ensure you’re safely suited up.
• The Launch – You board the speedboat and ride out to the launch area, usually not too far from the dock itself. It’s a decent enough distance from swimmers and other watercraft.
• The Experience – The parasail attached to your harness is laid out on the launch area’s platform. The crew then attaches your harness to the winch. Once everything has been checked and is secure, the boat accelerates and the parasail fills with air behind the boat. The winch releases the line gradually. Within seconds you’re lifting off the platform and climbing into the air. Sooner than you think, you’re at least 100 feet up or higher.
