Question 1

Do I need prior experience to try Flyboarding?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Around 90% of our guests are first-timers. Flyboarding is very intuitive—it’s similar to finding your balance on a bicycle. Our certified instructors provide a 1-on-1 briefing and manage the water pressure for you, so most people are soaring within the first 5 minutes.

Question 2

Is there an age or weight limit for Flyboarding?

Accepted Answer

For safety reasons, the minimum age is 12 years old, and participants under 18 must have a guardian present. The weight limit is generally between 35 kg and 120 kg to ensure the jet propulsion works effectively and the safety boots fit securely.

Question 3

Is it safe if I am not a strong swimmer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You will be wearing a high-buoyancy life jacket and a helmet at all times. While being comfortable in the water helps, the equipment will keep you afloat automatically if you fall. Your instructor is also right there on a jet ski to assist you immediately

Question 4

What should I wear and bring?

Accepted Answer

We recommend swimwear or quick-dry athletic clothes (like a rash guard and board shorts). Don’t forget a towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes. We provide all the necessary professional flight gear.

Question 5

How high can I actually fly?

Accepted Answer

Beginners typically hover between 2 to 4 meters above the water. Once you master your balance and feel confident, our instructors can increase the pressure to let you soar up to 15 meters high!

Question 6

Can I get photos or videos of my flight?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Chang Thai Thappraya Safari offers professional photography and GoPro video packages for a small additional fee. You can also have friends take photos from the lakeside viewing area.

Question 7

Does the ticket include hotel transfers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide shared round-trip transfers from most hotels in North, Central, and South Pattaya, as well as Jomtien. Please ensure you provide your hotel name and room number when booking.

Question 8

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

Flyboarding is safe in light rain. However, in the case of extreme weather or lightning, the activity will be paused. We offer a free reschedule or a full refund for any weather-related cancellations made by the park.

Question 9

How long does the entire activity take?

Accepted Answer

While the "flight time" is 10, 15, or 20 minutes depending on your ticket, you should allow about 1.5 to 2 hours in total. This includes the transfer, safety briefing, gear fitting, and time to relax after your session.

Question 10

Can I combine Flyboarding with other activities?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! Since the Flyboard station is located inside the Thappraya Safari & Adventure Park, you can easily book a combo with Elephant Trekking, ATV riding, or the Shooting Range to make it a full day of adventure.
