Guinness World Records announced the certification on March 25, 2026, acknowledging this unique feat. Tanaboworn's achievement follows his previous record-setting skydives, including a jump displaying a large Thai national flag above Mount Everest, and another skydive over Antarctica, recognized by relevant authorities. His latest accomplishment is seen as a testament to his dedication and courage in the field of extreme sports.

Expressing his pride, Tanaboworn mentioned his commitment to showcasing Thai prowess and dedication on a global stage. He attributes his success to a strong educational foundation at King's College, highlighting the values of national pride and loyalty that were instilled in him. His goal is to represent the Thai spirit of fearlessness and professionalism in challenging situations.

Significant support for Tanaboworn came from Mr. Paul Henry de Baere and Mrs. Nadia de Baere, esteemed skydivers from France and Russia. Tanaboworn considers them vital contributors to his success, crediting their guidance and encouragement with enabling his record-setting achievements.

Looking forward, Tanaboworn aspires to continue breaking barriers and hopes to announce more record attempts soon. His future endeavors are expected to further elevate Thailand's reputation in the extreme sports world, showcasing the tenacity and skill of Thai adventurers, reported The Nation.
