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...

Skydive Thailand - Getting There

• We don't handle international inward or outward bound flights.
• Airport Transfer; 350 Baht pp by air-conditioned coach service running from the airport. (Bell Travel operate the coaches from the airport to Pattaya and can be contacted directly by email at rrc_bus@hotmail.com)

Getting There By Bus From Bangkok: There are two main bus stations in Bangkok: Ekamai and Morchit. Both of these stations (Morchit and Ekkamai) are also BTS (sky train) stations, very accessible and easy to find. Prices range from THB 113 Baht to THB 121 Baht.

• 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.

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.
