Parasailing a Must Try Activity in Phuket

Parasailing a Must Try Activity in Phuket

Phuket is a picture-perfect tropical island in Thailand, with some of the world’s best beaches. With golden sands, verdant forests and turquoise seas, it is the perfect place to unwind and relax. You can lie back on the beach with a coconut cooler in hand, or swim in the pristine waters, explore the mountains, or indulge in some watersports. And if you are up for getting adrenaline thrumming through your veins, you must try the premium adventure sport in Phuket: parasailing.

Parasailing is an exhilarating adventure sport, which leaves you feeling thrilled, with adrenaline rushing through your veins. It involves strapping a parachute to your back and then getting on a boat on high speed, allowing the wind to drag you off the boat while you are still harnessed to it. The steering of your parachute depends on completely on the direction your boat is heading, so you just need to hang in the air and enjoy the ride and the views. Parasailing is an extremely safe sport as long as you do the activity with a certified and reputable operator, who will ensure the strength and stability of your harness and parachute.

The best beaches for parasailing are Layang, Nai Yan, Kata, Karon, and Friendship Beach, which are at the south-west corner of Phuket. While parasailing is a year-round activity, the best season for it is from May to October, because of the sunny weather, calm ocean and balmy winds. Be sure to check out the certification of the operators and the costs they are asking for. Prices range from 1000 – 2500 Baht, but they are mostly negotiable. Also, make sure to check the weather and equipment yourself. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry. A typical sailing experience lasts 3-6 minutes, so be careful to listen to your guide’s instruction to have the best and safest time.

There are many other fun activities you can try in Phuket. Visit Phang Nga Bay and go boating on pristine waters. Enjoy the nightlife on Bangla Road and pay your respects at the iconic Big Buddha statue. The bright blue waters of Similan Islands are perfect for scuba diving. Also, marvel at traditional Thai architecture Wat Chelong and Phuket Temples. Let your eyes feast on aquamarine seas from some amazing viewpoints, such as Kata, Nai Harn and Panwa. Enjoy great music, delicious food and extraordinary cocktails in Phuket’s beach clubs, such as Bangtao, Kamala and Patong. Visit the delightfully quaint Old Phuket Town, where you can explore old school markets and go back in time in the midst of colonial and Chinese architecture. Visit the elephant camps dotted around Phuket to safely interact with the gentle giants.
