Sky Diving

[Jockstar]

Just a quickie. Anyone know where to do a tandem skydive in Thailand? Aroung BKK would be good. Or what ever!

The closest in the region is KL/Singapore.

Someone posted a few weeks ago about skydiving, and is organizing an extreme event sometime this year. Maybe tandem jump would be available.

there used to be one in pattaya, i did a tandem jump a couple of years back, ******* brilliant!, (plane crashed a week later though)

it's all finished now as one of the partners was murdered and the others vanished.

There is a website, can't remember the address. This guy called Thomas Matthew in Singapore is organising courses in Malaysia and Indo. I did my USPA(Skydiving license) with these guys in Indo, cost me 1500 USD. If I remember correctly, a tandem costs round 150 USD. Its worth every cent. Even Bush senior did it.

There is still a club in thailand. which came out of this one. You can go ask Patrick a belgian guy who's owns one of the two belgian restaurants in pattaya.

He still jumps every weekend.

His restaurant is located in the outdoor shopping arcade on second road where also KISS restaurant is located, walk halfway in to the arcade on the left.

Ask for the boss, his name is patrick, he can bring you up to date.

Here's his website , maybe you can find it there (has parachuting info)
