Skydiving Gift Voucher in Thailand: A Complete Gift Guide

A skydiving gift voucher in Thailand gives someone a tandem jump from 13,000 ft over the Gulf of Thailand, booked when it suits them rather than when it suits your calendar. Pattaya Skydiving, a booking desk on the Chonburi coast approximately 1.5 to 2 hours from Bangkok, can arrange a voucher for any of its seven packages at the two licensed Pattaya dropzones. This guide covers who a voucher suits, which package to choose, how to arrange it through the desk, and what the recipient needs to know before they redeem it.

Quick answer

Who a skydiving voucher suits

A voucher works best for someone who has said "I want to do that one day" and has not yet picked the day. It removes the two things that stop most first jumps: choosing a date and paying for something you are nervous about. The recipient gets to decide when, and the payment is already handled.

A tandem skydive gift voucher from Pattaya Skydiving buys the same 13,000 ft jump over the Gulf of Thailand as a direct booking, with the date left open for the recipient.

It suits a partner, a friend who is visiting Thailand, an adult child, or a colleague who is finishing a big project. It is a poor fit for someone who is firmly against heights or who has a medical condition that would rule out a jump, so check quietly before you buy. Fitness matters more than age, and there is no stated upper age limit, so a parent or grandparent in good health is a fair candidate. If in doubt, read the weight and age limits guide first.

Which package to gift

Every package includes the jump, a ground briefing of about 20 minutes, all equipment and a certificate. The price difference is footage, and for a gift, footage is usually the point. Prices are as listed on 3 September 2026.

Deluxe is the safe choice. At Dropzone Thailand the instructor's handcam captures the recipient's face through the whole freefall; at Thai Sky Adventures, Deluxe is filmed by an outside cameraman. Either way the video is on their phone the same evening. VIP uses a cameraman flying beside them, which gives wider shots of the exit and the canopy ride, and adds photos at Thai Sky Adventures. VIP+ at Thai Sky Adventures combines both angles with photos and is the only package with a two-angle edit. Personal cameras are not allowed on tandem jumps, so a footage package is the only way the recipient will have their own video. The prices page lists all seven side by side.

How to arrange a voucher through the desk

There is no voucher checkout on this site. The desk arranges vouchers by hand, which keeps the process simple and avoids card details being typed into chat windows.

1. Contact the desk through the booking form, WhatsApp on +66 91 758 4642, LINE or Telegram. The desk is open daily 08:00–18:00.
2. Say that you want a gift voucher, name the package, and say which dropzone you prefer (or ask the desk to recommend one).
3. Give the recipient's name and, if you know them, their approximate weight and the month they are likely to jump.
4. Ask the desk for validity terms and how the voucher will be delivered to you.
5. Confirm payment with the desk. Card or bank transfer can be arranged on request; the desk never asks for card details over chat.

Pattaya Skydiving can arrange a gift voucher for any of its seven packages at either Pattaya dropzone. If you are buying from outside Thailand, mention your time zone so the desk can reply during its opening hours.

What the recipient needs to know

Hand over the voucher with a short note covering the practical points, because the recipient is the one who will contact the desk. A link to this site is a good thing to include.

Age and weight

The minimum age is 12 with a guardian's consent. The weight limit is around 100 kg, and a small surcharge may apply above 90 kg. If the recipient is near the limit, they should tell the desk their weight when they book so the instructor pairing can be planned.

Booking the jump

The recipient sends a booking request with the voucher details, a preferred date and their hotel for pickup. In a normal week, 2 to 3 days ahead is enough; around Thai holidays, about a week. The slot is confirmed only when the desk replies. The booking guide walks through the process step by step.

The day itself

Plan for about 4 to 5 hours on site. The recipient should wear sporty clothes and lace-up sneakers; jumpsuit, harness, goggles and altimeter are provided. Weather is assessed load by load, and weather reschedules are free. Hotel pickup around Pattaya is arranged with the booking, so the recipient does not need to find the dropzone on their own.

Occasions that work well

Skydiving vouchers tend to land best when they mark a moment rather than a date on the calendar.

• Birthdays, especially the round ones, where the recipient has been talking about a jump for years
• Anniversaries and honeymoons, where both of you jump on the same load (see the couples guide)
• Graduations and the end of exams, when a student has time to travel
• A friend's first trip to Thailand, as a reason to add Pattaya to the route
• A leaving present from colleagues, where several people share the cost of a Deluxe or VIP+

Tom from the United Kingdom, who jumped on the Eco package, wrote in a five-star Google review: "I was terrified at the door. Sixty seconds later I was asking how much a license course costs. Instructors are absolute pros." That is the usual arc, and it is why a voucher for a nervous friend is rarely wasted.

Why Pattaya for a gift jump

Pattaya is the practical answer for a skydiving gift in Thailand because it is close to Bangkok, has two licensed dropzones, and jumps year-round. The recipient can fly into Suvarnabhumi Airport, reach Pattaya in approximately 1.5 hours, and be back at a beach hotel by mid-afternoon on jump day. Both Thai Sky Adventures and Dropzone Thailand exit over the Gulf of Thailand, so the canopy ride looks out over the coast and islands rather than farmland. The tandem skydiving in Pattaya guide walks the recipient through the whole day, from pickup to landing.

Every tandem rig at both Pattaya dropzones carries a main parachute, a reserve parachute and an automatic activation device. Instructors are internationally certified. The dry, cool season from roughly November to February gives the clearest skies, but mornings are often jumpable through the rainy season too, and the desk reschedules for free when a load is held. The best time guide helps if the recipient has a flexible travel window. The Tourism Authority of Thailand's Pattaya pages are useful for planning the rest of the trip.
