Snorkelling in Thailand
Snorkelling is your first glimpse into the mystical secrets of underwater Thailand.

Segway tour through Chiang Mai
With a Segway, the journey is as much fun as the destination. The ancient town of Chiang Mai is packed with historic Buddhist temples, intricate sculptures, a gorgeous park, and scrumptious food. Riding on Segway scooters, you’ll stop to admire the famed Wat Chiang Man Temple, the Three Kings Monument and the lush Buak Had Park. You will also stop at a local café to enjoy authentic Thai cuisine.

Human slingshot in Pattaya
You don’t need wings to fly in Thailand! All you need is guts of steel and a slingshot that flings you across the sky at a speed of 150 kmph! You’ll hold your breath and whoooosh – you’re hurtling through the air! When you’re back on solid ground (“thank you, universe!”) and your heartbeat has returned to normal, you’ll be given a Certificate of Courage and a lifetime supply of bragging rights.

Ziplining over Chiang Mai’s rainforests
Zoom past the treetops of the tall and dense Thai rainforests from the mountain village of Mae Kampong. Home to the mischievous gibbon apes, these forests also hide a gorgeous, multi-layered waterfall that you can trek to after a short break and a delicious Thai lunch.

Bungee jumping in Pattaya and Koh SamuiBoth these locations will give you totally unique bungee experiences. Pattaya gives you the chance to jump from the highest bungee crane in Thailand from a height of 200 feet, overlooking the Gulf of Siam. On the other hand, Koh Samui offers a wet bungee jump – dipping you in a swimming pool beneath the crane before the cord yanks you back up.
