Working out how to book skydiving in Thailand comes down to four moves: choose a dropzone and package, send a request, wait for the desk to confirm, and pay at the dropzone on the day. Pattaya Skydiving is a booking desk on the Chonburi coast, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road from Bangkok, and it books tandem jumps at both licensed Pattaya dropzones. This guide covers each step, the lead times that work in practice, booking from Bangkok, and what happens when the weather has other plans.
Quick answer
As of September 2026, booking skydiving in Thailand through Pattaya Skydiving works as follows: pick Thai Sky Adventures or Dropzone Thailand, choose a package (฿8,450 to ฿13,000), and send a request via the form, WhatsApp, LINE or Telegram. The slot is confirmed only when the desk replies, and you pay in Thai baht at the dropzone on the day.
- Dropzones: Thai Sky Adventures and Dropzone Thailand, both on the Chonburi coast, both exiting over the Gulf of Thailand at 13,000 ft
- Prices: ฿8,450 ($235) to ฿13,000 ($365) per person, as listed on 3 September 2026
- Lead time: 2 to 3 days in a normal week, about a week around holidays
- Limits: minimum age 12 with a guardian's consent, weight limit around 100 kg; hotel pickup around Pattaya arranged with the booking
Book a skydive in Pattaya in five minutes
- Open the prices page and pick a package: Eco with no footage, Deluxe with video (handcam at Dropzone Thailand, outside cameraman at Thai Sky Adventures), or VIP with an outside cameraman.
- Send one message through the booking form or WhatsApp on +66 91 758 4642 with your date, number of jumpers, each person's approximate weight, package and hotel name.
- Wait for the desk's reply. That reply, with a date, load time and pickup time, is your booking.
- On the day, get picked up at your hotel, spend about 4 to 5 hours on site, and pay in Thai baht at the dropzone desk at check-in.
- Collect your same-day footage.
A slot from the Pattaya Skydiving desk is confirmed by reply, needs no prepayment, and is paid for in cash at the dropzone on the day.
Step 1: Choose your dropzone
Pattaya has two licensed dropzones and Pattaya Skydiving books both. The jump is identical: exit at 13,000 ft, roughly 60 seconds of freefall at about 200 km/h, then about two and a half minutes under canopy over the Gulf of Thailand. The differences are the package list and how each site handles groups.
| Thai Sky Adventures | Dropzone Thailand | |
|---|---|---|
| Packages | Four (Eco, Deluxe, VIP, VIP+) | Three (Eco, Deluxe, VIP) |
| Two-angle video (handcam plus outside cameraman) | Yes, VIP+ | No |
| Best for | Solo jumpers and couples who want every camera angle | Groups and friends jumping together |
The locations page and the Thai Sky Adventures and Dropzone Thailand pages set the two side by side.
Step 2: Pick a package
Every package includes the jump, briefing, equipment and certificate; the price difference is entirely about footage. Prices as listed on 3 September 2026.
| Dropzone | Package | Price | Footage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thai Sky Adventures | Eco | ฿8,450 ($235) | None |
| Thai Sky Adventures | Deluxe | ฿12,000 ($335) | Outside cameraman video |
| Thai Sky Adventures | VIP | ฿12,500 ($350) | Outside cameraman video and photos |
| Thai Sky Adventures | VIP+ | ฿13,000 ($365) | Handcam plus outside cameraman, two-angle edit, photos |
| Dropzone Thailand | Eco | ฿8,450 ($235) | None |
| Dropzone Thailand | Deluxe | ฿12,000 ($335) | Handcam photos and video |
| Dropzone Thailand | VIP | ฿13,000 ($365) | Outside cameraman |

The most popular choice at each dropzone is its top package, VIP+ at Thai Sky Adventures and VIP at Dropzone Thailand, and all footage is edited and delivered the same day. Personal cameras such as GoPros are not allowed on tandem jumps (snag hazard), so a package is the only way to bring footage home.
Step 3: How to book skydiving in Thailand by form, WhatsApp, LINE or Telegram
The desk treats all four channels the same way: the booking form on this site, WhatsApp on +66 91 758 4642, LINE, or Telegram. Whichever you use, include the following so the desk can confirm in one reply:
- Number of jumpers and each person's approximate weight
- Preferred date, plus a backup date if your trip allows it
- Dropzone and package for each person
- Hotel name and area for pickup
- Your departure date from Thailand, so the desk can plan a weather backup
The desk is open daily 08:00–18:00 and replies during those hours; it never asks for card numbers or passport scans over chat.
Step 4: Wait for confirmation
A booking request is not a booking. Your slot exists only when the desk replies with a confirmed date, load time and pickup time, because both dropzones run a limited number of loads each morning and the desk checks the load sheet before it confirms. If you have not heard back within opening hours, follow up on WhatsApp.
Step 5: Plan your lead time
How early you should book depends on the week, not the season.
| Situation | Recommended lead time |
|---|---|
| Normal week | 2 to 3 days ahead |
| Same-day jump | Often possible if you message early in the morning |
| Thai public holidays and long weekends | About a week ahead |
| Groups of 8 | About a week ahead, so consecutive loads can be held |
Morning slots are the easiest to confirm and the most weather-reliable. Aiko from Japan, who booked the Deluxe, put it this way in a five-star Google review: "Weather cancelled our first slot and they rebooked us the next morning, no arguing, no extra charge. That alone earned the five stars."
Step 6: Hotel pickup and jump day
Hotel pickup around Pattaya is arranged with the booking, so give the desk your hotel name; the dropzones are outside the city on the Chonburi coast. On the day, plan for about 4 to 5 hours on site: check-in and payment, a ground briefing of about 20 minutes, gearing up, a climb of roughly 15 minutes, the jump, and collecting your footage. Wear sporty clothes and lace-up sneakers; the full checklist is in how to prepare for a tandem skydive.
Step 7: Pay at the desk
Payment happens at the dropzone desk at check-in, in cash in Thai baht. Card or bank transfer can be arranged on request, and each jumper in a group can pay for their own package separately. There is no prepayment on the website: if anyone claiming to be Pattaya Skydiving asks for card details before confirming your slot, stop and contact the desk on the number listed here.
Booking from Bangkok
Bangkok has no outdoor tandem dropzone, so a book skydive Bangkok search ends in Pattaya, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road from the city and about 1.5 hours from Suvarnabhumi Airport. The booking is identical; the logistics differ.
A day trip is feasible if you start very early: loads fly through the morning and the visit takes about 4 to 5 hours on site, so you can leave Bangkok before dawn, jump mid-morning and be back by late afternoon. The more relaxed version is to stay one night in Pattaya and jump fresh the next morning, which also leaves a spare morning if a load is held for weather.
Hotel pickup is arranged only around Pattaya, so from Bangkok you organise your own transfer by taxi, private car or bus, and the desk gives you the dropzone address and check-in time. If you are booking on your last day before a flight, tell the desk so it can suggest the earliest load.
Booking platforms vs booking direct
| Booking platform | Booking direct with the Pattaya desk | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Usually generic; confirmed after checking with the operator | Confirmed against the dropzone's load sheet before the desk replies |
| Payment | Typically prepaid online | No prepayment; cash in Thai baht at the dropzone desk |
| Changes | The platform's own terms | Date changes free, weather reschedules free, deposit refunded if you leave Thailand |
| Package choice | Often a single listed option | All seven packages at both dropzones |
Skydiving in Pattaya also appears on general tour and activity platforms, and booking there is not wrong. The reason to book direct is that the person who confirms your slot against the load sheet is the same person who answers your WhatsApp on the morning of the jump, and with no prepayment there is nothing to lose if the weather changes your plans.
Changing your booking and the weather policy
The rules are simple: date changes carry no change fee, weather reschedules are free, and if the weather stops your jump and you are leaving Thailand, any deposit is refunded.
Three things stop a load: wind above limits, cloud between the aircraft and the landing area, and rain heavy enough to hurt at 200 km/h. The decision is made per load, so a grey 08:00 does not mean a lost day, and in the rainy season (roughly May or June to October) rain usually arrives as short afternoon bursts. The weather guide explains what the desk watches, and the Thai Meteorological Department publishes daily forecasts at tmd.go.th. To move your date for any other reason, message the desk early so your load can be offered to someone else.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay online to book skydiving in Thailand?
No. Pattaya Skydiving takes no prepayment on the website and never asks for card details over chat. You send a request, the desk confirms your slot by reply, and you pay in Thai baht at the dropzone desk at check-in. Card or bank transfer can be arranged on request.
How far in advance should I book a tandem skydive in Pattaya?
In a normal week, send your request 2 to 3 days ahead. Same-day jumps often work if you message early in the morning. Around Thai holidays and long weekends, allow about a week, because both Pattaya dropzones fill their morning loads quickly and the desk cannot promise a slot it has not confirmed.
Can I book a skydive from Bangkok?
Yes. Bangkok has no outdoor tandem dropzone, so the nearest jump is Pattaya, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road. Book the slot the same way, travel down the evening before or very early on the day, and note that hotel pickup covers Pattaya only; you arrange your own transfer from Bangkok.
What happens if the weather cancels my skydive?
Weather reschedules are free and there is no change fee for moving your date. Weather is checked load by load, so a cloudy start often clears by mid-morning. If you are leaving Thailand before another slot is possible, any deposit you paid is refunded. Just tell the desk your travel dates when you book.
Is hotel pickup included when I book skydiving in Pattaya?
Yes. Hotel pickup around Pattaya is arranged together with your booking. Give the desk your hotel name when you send the request and it will confirm a pickup time with your slot. The two dropzones sit on the Chonburi coast outside the city, so the transfer saves you finding your own taxi.
