The Beginner's Guide to Paramotor Flying in Chiang Mai
What is a paramotor?
A paramotor pairs a paraglider wing with a small motor worn on the pilot's back, letting you take off from flat ground — no hill required. It's the most intimate way to fly: no cockpit, no glass, just you and the sky.
Why Chiang Mai?
Chiang Mai offers a mix of terrain that's hard to match — mountain ranges, rice fields, and morning mist — which is why pilots from around the world come here. Early morning and late afternoon give the smoothest air, making them ideal flight windows.
What should you bring?
- Long-sleeve shirt, long pants, and ankle-high shoes
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- An open mind, ready for something new
