Dropzone Thailand operates from a private airfield in Rayong on the Gulf of Thailand, about an hour east of Pattaya and 2.5 hours from Bangkok. Tandems jump from 13,500 ft — the highest exit altitude in Thailand — for around sixty seconds of freefall before the canopy ride unfolds over the Gulf coastline. The aircraft is a Cessna Caravan turbine, the operator is USPA-affiliated, and the dropzone is fenced, gated, and used exclusively for skydiving rather than shared with other aviation traffic. Pricing tracks weight bands: surcharges of THB 500–3,500 apply over 90 kg, sliding upward to the operator's 120 kg ceiling. Beyond first-time tandems, Dropzone Thailand runs the full USPA Accelerated Free Fall licensing pathway and is one of two Pattaya-area dropzones (alongside Thai Sky Adventures in Chonburi) that draws regulars from across Southeast Asia. Both run year-round; Dropzone Thailand's east-coast location gives marginally better wet-season weather than Chonburi. The right jump for a tandem first-timer who wants ocean horizon rather than agricultural backdrop — Dropzone Thailand is Thailand's most-photographed jump for a reason. Couples and small groups can buy combined packages; outside-camera media is an add-on. Plan ahead either way — the dropzone runs to weather windows and slots fill 7–14 days in advance during high season. On Google the operation holds a 5.0 rating across more than 5,000 reviews — among the largest review bases of any dropzone in Asia — and entry pricing starts at THB 8,000 for the no-media tandem, with handcam and outside-camera tiers above it.

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. Rayong 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.
