Thailand's largest civilian jump aircraft.
Skydive Thailand relocated to Chiang Mai in May 2026, taking up operation at Phusanfah Airfield in Mae Taeng — about 50 minutes from Chiang Mai city. The move puts the dropzone roughly an hour from Chiang Mai International Airport and the Old City, and it brings Thailand's largest civilian skydiving aircraft — the NZ Aero 750XL — to Phusanfah's runway. Tandems jump from 13,000 ft for around sixty seconds of freefall over rice valleys, river bends, and the Mae Taeng foothills. Pricing runs three tiers: Tandem Only (THB 8,850, the entry product with no media), Silver Package (THB 12,750, adds video and photos), and Gold Package (THB 15,550, premium-altitude pricing with full media). Instructors are USPA-certified and the 750XL carries larger groups per load than smaller Caravan or Porter aircraft, which means lower per-jumper wait times during peak. The right jump for travellers on the northern Thailand loop, for groups or couples who want flexibility across multiple jumpers per aircraft load, and for visitors comfortable with the May 2026 relocation — older content elsewhere on the web still references the Khao Yai location, but Phusanfah is the current operation. Skydive Chiang Mai shares the same Mae Taeng airfield with a smaller PAC 750XL aircraft; both are credible, with Skydive Thailand favoured for group loads.
Check in, weigh in, sign the waiver. Twenty minutes of harness fitting and emergency-procedure briefing with your tandem master.
Bench-seated, headphones on, door closed. The aircraft climbs to 13,000 ft — the landscape shrinks under you.
Door open. Roll out. Terminal velocity. Your tandem master triggers the canopy around 5,000 ft.
Calm five-minute ride down. You take the toggles for a minute before your instructor sets up the final approach.
“If the dropzone can’t fly for safety or weather, you’re rebooked at no charge — or refunded in full to your original card. No customer-side surcharge.”

Liability waiver signed on the day. We send a copy ahead so you can read it before you commit — no mid-day surprises.
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.
Veronica Ott★★★★★4 months agoThis group of Peeps was awesome! Don’t hesitate to book! I came from Arizona woth my daughter, and everything went smoothly. I would recommend booking directly with Skydive Thailand, as opposed to a third- part app. They are very responsive and helpful. The Tandem jump guides are so fun and cool. Also, I recommend getting the photography package, so you have documentation of your jump, if this is your one and only time. My only heads up would be to wear pants. If you don’t have pants, They offer them at the jump. Take them up on their offer! It is a life-changing experience and you will not be able to get it out of your head. This is not a thrill ride. It’s absolutely awesome. I could not stop saying “oh my God” the whole time down. Once you’ve jumped, it’s not scary at all. It’s magnificent!
niamh mcloughlin★★★★★a year agoThank you Skydive Thailand for such an awesome experience! This was my first time skydiving, and everything was organised perfectly for us (including a transfer from Bangkok to the airfield and back). I felt very safe and comfortable throughout, and we got the opportunity to add on the Go Pro video packages to our dive last minute which was a bonus. I highly recommend Skydive Thailand to anyone looking to do their first skydive 🪂 💯
Sharoon Khan★★★★★a year agoI recently did the Gold Package at Sky Dive Thailand, and it was incredible! The pick-up and drop-off were super convenient, and the staff were friendly and professional. The views during the jump were breathtaking, and I felt safe with the well-maintained equipment. Highly recommend this unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

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 or Bolt. Parking and transfer arrangements vary by airfield — the operator confirms specifics in the inquiry reply. Plan a 2-hour buffer before your manifest slot for traffic and check-in.
Block 3–4 hours on site for tandem (briefing + climb + jump + canopy). AFF students should plan a full day.
