Parasailing is a thrilling activity that requires no skill whatsoever. Simply get strapped into a harness attached to a parachute, start running down the beach, and the rope attached to yourself and a speedboat will launch you high above the sea! Popular along beaches from Pattaya to Phuket, parasailing is a leisurely activity that allows you to get a unique perspective on the surrounding scenery; the aquamarine waters, golden sand beaches, and forested hills beyond the hotels are all spectacular from the vantage of a parachute. A gentle decent back to the beach is the typical way to end a leisurely parasail, though this activity is not regulated in any way and riders should be aware that the activity does not come without risk.
