Dropzone Thailand

Dropzone Thailand runs tandem skydiving from a private airstrip in Klaeng district, Rayong, with jumps advertised from around 8,000 THB — among the lower tandem prices in the country according to skydiving-booking sites. Jumps go up to roughly 13,500 ft over the Gulf of Thailand coastline. The operator’s own domain has since lapsed into a parked-page listing, so current bookings run through skydiving-tour platforms or direct phone contact rather than the old website.

A tandem jump means you’re harnessed to a certified instructor for the whole descent, from exit to landing, with ground briefing beforehand covering the basics of what to expect. The dropzone sits inland from Mae Phim Beach rather than directly on it — it’s an airstrip setting, with the coastline visible from altitude during the jump rather than as the takeoff point. Bookings run by reservation, with first jumps typically from around 9:30 AM, when winds tend to be calmer and visibility better than later in the day.

Safety Tip: Confirm age, weight, and health restrictions directly with the operator when you book — these are standard for any tandem skydiving operation but weren’t independently verified for this listing, and requirements can change.

Watch out: The domain listed for this operator in older travel guides (dropzone-thailand.com) has expired and now redirects to a domain-parking page. Don’t submit any booking details there — go through a current skydiving-tour platform or verified phone contact instead.

Close-fitting clothing and closed-toe shoes are standard for a tandem jump — loose clothing and sandals aren’t practical once you’re harnessed to an instructor. Advance booking matters more here than at most attractions, since weather and wind conditions can push a jump to another day. If skydiving isn’t for you, Ko Man Nai and the other small islands off Mae Phim Beach make for a calmer coastal day trip in the same area.
