Paragliding in Phuket｜Wow! I’ve never tried an adventure activity before, but I did it!

🌞 The sun has just risen, and Patong Beach is already bustling. It’s over 30 degrees every day, but living by the sea has its perks. It’s not too hot, and there’s a sea breeze. It’s perfect if you like the sea. 🏝️ The pace here is fast. People run and surf on the beach, and the tropical atmosphere is overwhelming. But the most eye-catching thing is the paragliders flying in the blue sky. I’ve never tried an exciting activity before, but I’m tempted to try flying in the air. 🌊 Paragliding service points are everywhere in the middle of the beach. The coach greeted me warmly. I was most worried about safety, but the coach looked experienced. After a brief conversation, he handed me a life jacket and a seat belt. The equipment is simple, but all the necessary safety measures are in place. The paraglider is towed from a jet ski. After fastening the seat belt, the jet ski starts, and the wing gradually rises. ✈️ I was a little nervous at first, but when I was really flying, I could see the panoramic view of Patong Beach in front of me, the rolling hills behind me, and the dazzling blue light at the junction of the sky and the sea. The feeling is indescribable. 🏖️ Looking down from the air, you can see not only the white sandy beach and the turquoise sea but also the bustling streets and hotels of all sizes. The prosperity of Patong is in full view. 🕙 The flight time is about 10–15 minutes. You can experience the thrill of flying without feeling tired. 🚌 Transportation: It takes about 30 minutes to get to Patong Beach by taxi from Phuket Town, or you can walk directly from the hotel. 💰 Cost reference: The price of a paragliding experience is THB 2,000. You can bargain, and it usually costs CNY 200–300. ⚠️ Precautions: Patong paragliding is suitable for beginners, but you should also pay attention to safety. Follow the coach’s instructions during the flight and hold the seat belt tightly with both hands. In addition, the coach will teach you some actions, such as how to land when certain signals appear below. If you are worried about dropping items, put away your phone and glasses in advance. ⛱️ Overall, it’s exciting and fun. Don’t be afraid when taking off! Don’t be too nervous, or you might drink seawater. 🍹 After paragliding, find a stall on the beach to eat some fresh coconut ice cream, or sit quietly on the beach and feel the enthusiasm and freedom of Patong. I’m a novice, but I did a great job on my first exciting activity!
