Does anyone know where I can buy a paraglider, GPS and altimeter in Chiang Mai? Also needed is a Cortex style cold weather suit. If not Chiang Mai anywhere in Thailand.

True many GPS will have altitude but I want a stand alone altimeter.

This could be a nice start:

and/or

Thanks for that spoke to Paul at Paramotor already. Thanks for the links though - appreciate it.

I wish I could walk- then I could fly

Max instead of an altimeter you need something like a Flytec unit that has a pressure altimeter, audio variometer and even GPS if you want in one unit. But the audio vario is definitely the most important for soaring. The hills in Northern Thailand have good thermals between now and March.

LJW you don't need legs to fly a balloon.

No, but some good legs and I can fly a Paramotor

With a balloon, I still need legs if I want to see anything....
