I'm looking for skydiving lessons in Thailand, i would like to buy a course of lessons which start of with tandem jumps and ends with being qualified to jump alone. I have already tried to contact skydive Thailand and extreem sports cafe but the contact number is wrong and they did not reply to my e-mails.

Any other suggestions?

Regards.

Try calling Neil who owns Pattaya Airpark and was running a skydiving operation there earlier this year at (086) 374-1718. I used to keep my plane there and saw a lot of skydiving over the years.

That's at www.pattayaairpark.com

Minor problem with K Neil's Cessna 206, it got pretty bent out of shape 4-5 months ago and I think that's the last jump plane around right now.  Never hurts to ask, tho.

Note, doesn't look like Tom C has updated the www page for some time.

If you want to learn to Skydive maybe you should consider going to Australia, New Zealand, UK (cold and expensive) or USA. Seek out the best registered schools - registration - example BPA (British Aparachute Assn) membership or equivalent.

What you are talking about (tandem and the Free fall (in time)) seems to be a variation of a Advanced Freefall - AFF - type of course -- make sure that the instructors and the center are properly rated .....

I have jumped, competed, and done displays around the world (in years gone by) and I have seen some really crappy outfits.

Some countries / nationalities are more rigorous than others ... if you get my drift.

And it is your life that is on the line...

Find somewhere that is very well regulated and where is a good climate for skydiving - you d not want to sit on a drop zone for days on end because the wind / cloud / rain is incompatible with safe jumping and landing

Some thoughts and offered IMHO

Good luck

I thought most condo buildings in Pattaya had skydiving facilities :D

Sorry - I'll get my coat ...

What you are referring to is a specialized form of skydiving called Base Jumping. The problem is that a few farangs in Pattaya have tried it but forgotten to put on chutes ! :o I grab my coat also ........

can always go horizontal skydiving, get yourself a hayabusa and just zoom down the street.
