Do I need any experience to go paragliding?

No experience is needed. Tandem paragliding means you fly with a professional pilot who controls the entire flight. You just sit back and enjoy the view.

How long does a paragliding flight last?

Tandem flights typically last 20–30 minutes, depending on weather conditions and thermal activity. The whole experience including briefing and transport takes about 2–3 hours.

About this experience

Paragliding in Tha Khao is a tandem paragliding flight launched from the hillside of Tha Khao on Koh Yao Yai, a Thai island in Phang Nga Bay. The flight offers a bird's-eye view of the island's rubber plantations, limestone karsts, and the Andaman Sea. Each session includes a safety briefing, harness fitting, and a flight with a certified pilot.

What to expect

Flight duration is 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thermal conditions, with a total activity time of about 1 hour including briefing and setup.
The launch site is at 200 metres above sea level, providing immediate views of the island's west coast and the Phi Phi Islands on a clear day.
Your tandem pilot handles all controls; you only need to hold the harness straps and follow simple take-off and landing instructions.
A helmet, harness, and a GoPro camera with a memory card are included in the price; you receive the footage after landing.
Suitable for first-time flyers and those with no prior experience; minimum age is 12 years and maximum weight is 100 kilograms.
Flights operate daily from 8:00 to 17:00, but are subject to wind speed and weather; the ground crew assists with take-off and landing on a flat grass field.
