Pattaya Thailand Tandem, First Jump Course & AFF

Extreme Sports Cafe's new partner skydiving Drop Zone near Pattaya in Thailand is open all year round, Monday to Wednesdays and also over Christmas for qualified jumpers, skydiving tandems and learn to skydive courses (AFF courses). The DZ is located just 25min (19km) outside of Pattaya in Sri Racha. This is the only operational civilian skydiving Drop Zone in South East Asia.

Skydiving in Thailand offers untold advantages, firstly we have 360 Jumpable days per year. Generally speaking, the best time to visit Thailand is from November to February when the northeast monsoon is blowing cool, dry air which serves as a respite from the heat. During this cool season, the temperature ranges from 18°C to 32°C in Bangkok.
The summer period, or hot and dry season, is from March to June. At this time temperatures in Bangkok average around 34°C, but can often reach 40°C with the humidity levels of 75%.
From July to October is the monsoonal season when most of Thailand's annual rainfall is accumulated. The humidity averages just under 90%, with temperatures averaging around 29°C in Bangkok. The Thais will tell you they have 3 seasons - The hot Season, the very hot season and the too hot season!!!
Aircraft: A Pilatus Turbo Porter with the larger PT6A-27 Engine carrying 7-10 jumpers to 13,000 feet (Standard Exit Altitude) and back down in 18-22 minutes depending on ambient air temperature, piloted by our highly experienced jump pilots.
Because we have multinational staff we can also help you to achieve the licensing requirements of most European or other recognised parachuting authority. In fact we can assure you of compliance with the licensing requirements from your home country and will certify your logbook and supply copies of your training records and, should you require it a DVD of your graduation (Level 7) skydive.

We offer Tandem Skydives, Introduction to Free Fall courses and the full Accelerated Free Fall program, as well as skydive coaching, equipment hire and full skydiving holidays in Thailand...

Ekamai is closer to Pattaya and the best one to head for. Once you arrive at Ekamai nip over the road to the main bus building. Here, you can buy your ticket to Pattaya. They leave every 30 minutes between 05.20 and 23:00. Most buses are air-conditioned and can pack your luggage safely away. Once you're at Pattaya Bus Station, a plethora of transports will be fighting their way through to offer transport to your hotel.
If you decide to head for Morchit, Buses leave every half hour from 05:30 - 17:00. Head for Booth 48 to purchase your ticket. Buses run until late in the evening, but do not run all night, so check your arrival times.
If you arrive at Pattaya in under two hours, then well done!
Morchit (Northern Bus Terminal) Kamphangphet 2 Road, Bangkok Tel: (+66) 0 2936-3660, 2936-3666)
Ekamai (Eastern Bus Terminal) Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok Tel: (+66) 02 391-8097, 2391-2504.
On arrival at Pattaya Bus station (on North Pattaya Road), providing you have booked your tandem skydivie in advance, and arranged with the DZ in advance they can have you collected in a mini-van to take you to the Drop Zone.
TAXI - Taxi's from Bangkok to Pattaya or to the Drop Zone should be very reasonably priced between 1500Baht to 2,000 Baht.

Tandem Skydive Thailand NOTE: *If you travel by bus, be sure to get one that stops at the bus station on "Pattaya Nuea" or "North Pattaya Road". Some buses go towards "Jomtien Beach which is much further South.

We do appreciate the frustration that delays can bring but please be assured that our primary responsibility is for the safety of all jumpers. In the event of you being unable to make your jump on your scheduled day due to weather or technical issues the DZ will re-schedule an alterative date with you.

Skydiving is an all day activity and we are open for jumping from 0800 hours till 1700 hours daily. We recommend you arrive at the centre as early as possible as we work on a "first come, first served" basis. Many factors govern who will jump and when, including time required for briefing/training, availability of parachute equipment, Instructor availability, and of course suitable weather.
The staff will do their best to keep you informed and give reasonable estimates of your likelihood of jumping and when but certain factors are outside our control (Cloud cover, High winds etc) may make it unsuitable for certain categories of jumping, however rest assured we will do our best to get you jumped as quickly and efficiently as possible.

So, what’s it to be and where’s good for you?

A Skydiving Tandem Jump: Where you can be in the air and jumping out of a plane strapped to an instructor quicker than you can say 'I'm not sure about this....'
A Skydiving I.F.F. (Introduction to Free Fall) Course: This 2 day Level 1 Course is designed to give you a taste of our sport: Ground Training & an AFF level 1 Jump with two instructors.
Or perhaps a Skydiving A.F.F. (Accelerated FreeFall) Course: Where on your first jump you leap out of a plane 2.5 miles up in the air with two highly experienced instructors, quickly followed by your cameraman.
Learn in a Wind Tunnel..... Vertical wind tunnels (indoor skydiving or bodyflight): You can always improve your skydiving freefall skills, or simply start to learn to skydive in a Wind Tunnel...

Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
Because the door opens ;-)

Skydiving Certification - National parachuting associations exist in many countries, many affiliated with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), to promote their sport. In most cases, national representative bodies, as well as prudent local dropzone operators, require that participants carry certification, attesting to their training, their level of experience in the sport, and their proven competence. Anyone who cannot produce such bona-fides is treated as a student, requiring close supervision. Skydiving Certification - All Extreme Sports Cafe Skydiving Courses follow the relevant skydiving guidelines set by the governing body for the relevant area/country. The USPA (United States Parachute Association) and The BPA (British Parachute Association) are 2 of the most common skydiving bodies, issued certifications and affiliated centers found all over the world.

Skydiving books we recommend...

Skydiving in Eight Days

Fully illustrated with photographs and diagrams. "Skydiving In 8 Days" is the first book ever published on this modern approach to sport parachuting. It provides a unique introduction to one of the world's most thrilling sports, and describes in detail the mental attitudes and techniques necessary to master it.

Parachuting: The Skydiver's Handbook

The newest, most up-to-date, complete jumping text available. In 400 pages and 260 illustrations you are taken from first jump through advanced skydiving and canopy flying. The chapter on emergency situations is full of statistics and reveals the best solution to possible challenges. Learn all about your equipment; what to look for, what repairs you can make, and when to take your gear to a rigger. This book will be your basic text and constant reference. Completely revised, softcover, 5.5 x 8.5, 400 pages, 260 illustrations, four-color cover.

From the Author - Parachuting / Skydiving is continuously growing & evolving.

Dan Poynter and I have attempted to bring to you, the reader (novice or experienced), the latest information available which covers many aspects of the sport. It is our hope that this book will be used by you as a tool to increase your learning about the sport. We have addressed several training and controversial issues openly and honestly, attempting to give full merit to both (or more) viewpoints when more than one right answer is available. This book is a "living document" and will continue to change as the sport changes and grows. Each successive issue (from the very first one that I used to study the sport over 21 years ago) has been written with that philosophy in mind; one of continuous improvement.

We hope you like the book, and if you can think of anything else to add, please feel free to contact one of us with your suggestions! Blue, Clear, and Calm Skies to y'all.

If you have any questions, then please don’t hesitate to get back to us – we’ll be only too pleased to help. After all, the team at ESC are passionate about our various sporting disciplines – we want you to be, as well!
