Parasailing in Phuket

Parasailing, also known as parascending, can be an exciting experience as you strapped into a parachute and towed behind a speedboat for a short ride around off one of Phuket’s beautiful beaches. The view over the water from high up is spectacular, especially as the water is normally very clear. You will have a support person go up with you to help steer and land the parachute.

Operators are normally found along Phuket’s most popular beaches such as Patong and Kata, and normally only during high season when the weather is calm. Prices can vary depending on your negotiating skills but expect to pay around 1,000 Baht or more for a short 5 – 10 minute ride. Make sure you wear a life jacket as you might land in the water and also be aware that your travel insurance will probably not cover any accidents.
