Parasailing Over Pattaya Bay

Soaring above Pattaya Bay on a parachute towed by a speedboat is one of the quintessential Pattaya experiences. The views from 100m up — the curve of the bay, the city stretching inland, the Gulf of Thailand fading to blue — are spectacular. Operators are plentiful along the beach and the whole thing takes 15-20 minutes. No experience needed; just the willingness to scream a bit.
