Skydive Chiang Mai operates from Phusanfah Airfield in Mae Taeng, about 50 minutes by road from Chiang Mai city. The dropzone runs a PAC 750XL aircraft daily except Thursdays, with tandems jumping from 13,000 ft for up to 60 seconds of freefall over rice valleys, river bends, and the foothills of the Doi Suthep range. A 15–20 minute sightseeing climb precedes each jump — the slow ascent over Mae Taeng's agricultural terrain is part of the product, not an afterthought. Four package tiers structure the offering: Silver (entry, no media), Premium Silver (Silver + media), Gold (premium altitude pricing), and Premium Gold (Gold + media). All instructors are USPA-certified. The on-site facilities include a resort and café, so the dropzone is set up for a half-day rather than a turn-up-and-go visit. AFF candidates can begin USPA licensing here as well as the tandem product. The right jump for travellers anchored to Chiang Mai or the Mae Hong Son loop, for couples wanting mountain-and-valley scenery rather than ocean, and for first-timers happy to make a half-day of it. Phusanfah Airfield is shared with Skydive Thailand — the larger NZ Aero 750XL operator on the same field — so visitors with flexibility can compare package mixes between the two operations before committing. Entry pricing starts at THB 12,750, and the operation holds a 4.9 Google rating across its review base. November through February is the premium window — cool-season visibility over the foothills at its best — and it coincides with Chiang Mai's peak months, so book ahead.

Cancellation & policies.
Cancellations and date changes are arranged directly with the dropzone — message them anytime, and SiA steps in if needed.
Skydiving is weather-dependent. If the dropzone can't fly safely they'll reschedule you at no charge — or arrange a full refund if a new date doesn't suit.
Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method, typically within 5–10 business days. The dropzone confirms the timing.
After booking you’ll be in direct contact with the dropzone — any change or refund is arranged with them. SiA’s team is here if you need us.
Eight real anxieties, addressed.
Tandem operators set their own weight limit (commonly around 90–115 kg) and confirm borderline cases on the day — check the exact limit with this dropzone when you enquire. AFF students have no upper limit but must fit the rig comfortably.

Airfield gate — operator shares the exact pin and driving directions in the inquiry reply. Chiang Mai is the customer-facing hub.
Most jumpers drive or use Grab/Bolt. Free on-site parking. Plan a 2-hour buffer before your manifest slot for traffic + check-in.
Block 3–4 hours on site for tandem (briefing + climb + jump + canopy). AFF students should plan a full day.
