Skydiving in Thailand Cost: Pattaya Prices in 7 Currencies

Skydiving in Thailand cost, for a tandem jump booked through Pattaya Skydiving, runs from ฿8,450 (about $235) to ฿13,000 (about $365) as listed on 3 September 2026. That range covers seven packages at two licensed dropzones on the Chonburi coast near Pattaya, and the only thing that changes the price is the camera setup. This guide explains what the money buys, converts the prices into seven currencies, and compares Pattaya with Dubai, other Thai dropzones and the rest of Asia.

Quick answer

Skydive Pattaya price: the full ticket list

Pattaya Skydiving is a booking desk that places you at one of two dropzones. Prices are set per package and are the same whether you book by form, WhatsApp, LINE or Telegram. All figures below are as listed on 3 September 2026.

The jump is identical at both dropzones and across all packages; only the footage changes. VIP+ is offered only at Thai Sky Adventures. The prices page shows all seven side by side with the current listing.

Which package to choose

Handcam (Deluxe at Dropzone Thailand) keeps the lens an arm's length from your face through the door, freefall and opening, which is what family and friends want to see. An outside cameraman (Deluxe or VIP at Thai Sky Adventures, VIP at Dropzone Thailand) flies beside you and gets the wide shot, the aircraft above and your full body, which suits social media. VIP+ at Thai Sky Adventures combines both in a two-angle edit, with photos. Personal cameras such as GoPros are not allowed on tandem jumps because of the snag risk, so a package is the only way to get footage. The camera package guide goes deeper.

Pattaya skydiving price in Malaysian ringgit, rupees, dollars and euros

Prices are set and paid in Thai baht. The table converts the four price points into the currencies our readers ask about most. Figures are approximate, September 2026, rounded for budgeting; check a live rate before you travel. Rates used: 1 USD ≈ 36 THB, 1 EUR ≈ 39 THB, 1 GBP ≈ 46 THB, 1 INR ≈ 0.41 THB, 1 MYR ≈ 8.2 THB, 1 SGD ≈ 27 THB, 1 AUD ≈ 23 THB.

This is a budgeting aid, not a quote. The baht price does not change between booking and jump day, but the amount in your home currency will move a little with the exchange rate. Exchange baht the day before the jump and keep a small buffer for a possible weight surcharge or a tip; ATMs and exchange counters are easy to find in Pattaya.

What is included in every price

The tandem price in Pattaya is close to an all-in figure. Nothing on this list costs extra at either dropzone.

• Ground briefing of about 20 minutes
• Jumpsuit, harness, goggles and altimeter
• A rig with a main parachute, a reserve parachute and an automatic activation device
• The climb of about 15 minutes to 13,000 ft
• About 60 seconds of freefall at roughly 200 km/h
• About two and a half minutes under canopy over the Gulf of Thailand
• A certificate on landing
• Hotel pickup around Pattaya, arranged when you book
• Video on Deluxe, VIP and VIP+ (photos depend on the package), edited and delivered the same day

Every tandem ticket in Pattaya, from Eco to VIP+, buys the same 13,000 ft jump; the price difference is only the camera.

Extra costs to budget for

Most passengers pay the package price and nothing else; these items can change that.

Weight surcharge above 90 kg

The weight limit is around 100 kg. A small surcharge may apply above 90 kg because the pair needs a larger canopy and the landing takes more skill. Tell the desk your weight when you book so the amount is agreed before you arrive. Full limits are in skydiving weight and age limits in Thailand.

Transport from outside Pattaya

Hotel pickup around Pattaya is part of the booking. If you are staying in Bangkok, travel to Pattaya first, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by road, and take the pickup from there. Ask the desk before assuming a long-distance transfer is included.

Tips and insurance

Tipping is not built into the price; a tip in baht is appreciated but optional. Insurance is the other item outside the ticket: Pattaya Skydiving does not sell it, standard travel policies often exclude skydiving, and some insurers offer an adventure-sport add-on. Check your policy wording; see skydiving insurance in Thailand.

Things that do not cost extra

Weather reschedules are free. Changing your date has no fee. If a cancelled load leaves you unable to jump before you leave Thailand, the deposit is refunded. Aiko from Japan, who jumped Deluxe, described exactly that: "Weather cancelled our first slot and they rebooked us the next morning, no arguing, no extra charge. That alone earned the five stars."

How much does skydiving cost in Asia

Asia has no single price for a tandem jump. The cost depends on the country, the exit altitude, whether video is bundled or sold separately, and how far the dropzone is from where tourists stay. A few general patterns hold, in our experience; other operators' prices change and we do not quote them here.

• Gulf destinations generally sit at the top of the range, with iconic scenery and longer booking lead times.
• Several Southeast Asian dropzones are priced in a similar band to Pattaya; the differences are usually in exit altitude and whether footage is included.
• Some destinations quote a low headline price that excludes video or transport, so the final bill lands higher than the advert.

Pattaya's price, ฿8,450 to ฿13,000 as listed on 3 September 2026, includes a 13,000 ft exit at either of two licensed dropzones, hotel pickup around Pattaya and, on the camera packages, same-day video. When you compare Asian prices, compare that full list rather than the first number you see. For a wider view of the region, read best places to skydive in Asia.

Skydive Dubai vs Pattaya

This is the comparison readers ask about most. The Pattaya column is verified as of September 2026; the Dubai column is a general description of what the destination is known for, not a quote.

Dubai sells a landmark backdrop; Pattaya sells a sea view, two licensed dropzones, short lead times and a price that fits into a Thailand holiday.

Skydive Chiang Mai price and other Thai dropzones

Thailand has skydiving outside Pattaya, and prices at other Thai dropzones vary; we do not publish their figures because they change and we cannot verify them. When you compare, look past the headline price at three things: the exit altitude (Pattaya is 13,000 ft), whether photos and video are included or sold as an add-on, and whether hotel transport is arranged. A cheaper ticket with a lower exit and no video is a different product, not a discount.

Season also matters. Pattaya's two dropzones operate year-round on the Chonburi coast; northern Thailand generally sees agricultural smoke haze from roughly February to April that can reduce visibility. The seasonal comparison is in best time for skydiving in Thailand.

Is Pattaya the cheapest tandem skydive in Asia?

We do not claim it is. Somewhere in Asia there is almost certainly a lower headline price on a given day, often with a lower exit altitude or with video sold separately. What we can say is what the Pattaya ticket includes: a 13,000 ft exit, two licensed dropzones to choose from, instructors with international tandem ratings of the kind described by the United States Parachute Association, a rig with main, reserve and automatic activation device, hotel pickup around Pattaya, and same-day video on the camera packages. Loads are assessed one by one rather than per day, so a grey sky at breakfast does not automatically mean a lost trip; the Pattaya skydiving weather guide explains how that works.

How to pay

1. Send your request through the booking form, WhatsApp, LINE or Telegram. No payment is taken at this stage.
2. Wait for the desk to confirm your slot. A booking is not confirmed until the desk replies.
3. Pay in cash, in Thai baht, at the dropzone desk at check-in on the day of the jump.
4. If you would rather pay by card or bank transfer, ask the desk in advance and they will arrange it.

The website takes no prepayment, and the desk never asks for card details over chat. If anyone claiming to represent the dropzone asks for card numbers by message, stop and phone the desk directly. The full process is in how to book skydiving in Thailand.

Ways to spend less without cutting the jump

1. Choose Eco if you truly do not want footage. The jump is the same at ฿8,450.
2. If you want an outside cameraman, Thai Sky Adventures has it from ฿12,000 (Deluxe, video only) or ฿12,500 with photos (VIP), against ฿13,000 for VIP at Dropzone Thailand.
3. If you are already at ฿13,000, VIP+ at Thai Sky Adventures gives you two cameras for the price of Dropzone Thailand's one.
4. Jump in the morning. A morning slot is less likely to be pushed by afternoon cloud, which saves a second day's transport and time.
