Take to the skies and seas: Paragliding in Phuket

What to do in Phuket? Strolling along the beach and snorkeling are out of fashion! This time in Phuket, I experienced the thrill of soaring into the sky. If you're interested, why not try paragliding? ❓ Is paragliding in Phuket parasailing? No! There are two types of paragliding in Phuket: parasailing and regular paragliding. The former is more popular among Chinese tourists, as it's cheaper and you can go into the water. I recommend the latter, as it's a better experience. ❓ How to get to the paragliding base You can go parasailing at Patong Beach or Karon Beach, but you need to go to the paragliding base yourself. Due to wind direction, the location is not fixed. The base will notify you in advance, so just keep an eye on your 📮. ❓ Is paragliding safe? Regular paragliding is relatively safe, and the instructors are qualified. The instructor will personally help you put on the equipment and check it carefully. As long as you go to a legitimate organization, you don't need to worry too much. ❓ How much does paragliding cost? Paragliding in Phuket is not cheap. The base price is THB 4,900, and the price with a video and T-shirt is THB 5,900, which is about RMB 1,000+. You can bargain if there are a lot of people. ❓ How long does paragliding take? The actual paragliding time is about 15–20 minutes, but the paragliding location is usually on a mountain, so it takes about 2 hours including driving to the mountain and preparing for paragliding. If you're eager to try this novel activity, why not try it next time you're in Phuket?
