water sports: Parasailing
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Beach Activities

    If you walk along the beach, you will be asked to do lots of water sports. To have an bird's eye view of Patong Beach, you could do Parasailing. The cost of parasailing is at THB700. It will only take you less then 5 mins to get the adrenaline pumping through your whole body.

    You will have to put on all your gears and weights. And safety precautions will be checked before you take off from the beach. One of the staff will be “flying” with you to take control of the directions we will be heading. He will also make the landing as smooth and safe as possible.

    water sports: Jet Ski
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Skiing/Snowboarding

    There are lots of Jet Skis for rental along Patong Beach. Prices range from THB500 for 15 mins and THB700 for 30 mins for a small single ski. For the double ski, THB700 for 15mins and THB1000 for 30 mins.

    If you don’t have a license to operate you can still hire one where you can be ride with the trainer.

    water sports: Banana Boat
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Beach Activities

    A Banaba Boat can be hired at Patong Beach for THB300.

    It is one of the cheapest and safest water sport on the beach. You will just need to sit on the banana boat and it will be attached to a jet ski and you will be dragged along. So if you find the rest of the water sport to expensive or too dangerous, why not give the banana boat a try?
