QUOTE(nemoexcel @ Sep 6 2010, 05:58 PM) Hi u guys are still interested in Skydiving? I am organizing 1... you didnt mention the date. when is it?http://www.thaiskyadventures.com/skydiving_cart.html I've got everything in order now. I need more jumpers to lower down the cost. Budget approx RM1500 for a 5D/4D adventure. (inclusive of AA return ticket, twin sharing accomodation, 1 Tandem jump at 13K ft with FF of 60seconds, Coach frm BKK airport to Pattaya) (excluding meals, beers and pocket $$) Optional video of your whole jump : THB3500 We need to fly AA to BKK, and then take a coach to Pattaya. Stay in Photisarn apt. Thaiskyadventures will provide the return pick-up from Photisarn to the DZ in Sriracha After jumping down frm 13K ft above sea level, those of you who wanna join me to Scuba dive down to 40meter below sea level in Pattaya, you are welcome too ... :-D and also, is it suitable for beginners? cause i've never done skydiving before and is just thinking of taking it as a once in a lifetime experience. what are you guys gonna do in the 5D4Ns other than skydiving? |

QUOTE(nemoexcel @ Sep 6 2010, 06:55 PM) date is not confirmed. I am looking at Jan2011 to avoid the wet months... ah okay. i should be free in Jan next year. i'll ask my bf whether he's able to go or not.Yes, tandem dive IS for beginners :-D (its my 1st time too... haha... but I've done quite some research on it... and this Thaiskyadventures has been operating in Pattaya for > 8 years ... 1 of the cheapest and most organized around... they are even able to provide video shooting of your jump!! Besides the skydiving, you can join me for scuba... and some beers at night!! The rest you suka hati lo ... free and eazy... why 5D/4N ? Just in case the weather is bad and not suitable for jump, then we can postpone it to the next day.. We dowant to come back to Msia without any jump right? :-D Sezretz : OW is able to go down to 18M .. you need Advanced OW to go down to 36M. If interested, I have another slot for scuba dive in Bali 30Sept - 5Oct 2010. You need to book your AA flight ticket by this week and let me know if you are coming. LCCT - DPS (Bali) 30Sept10 AK366 DPS - LCCT 5Oct10 AK367 The cost around USD400 excluding dive equipments. PM me since this is a skydiving thread... sorry guys would be interested in diving as well since both of us are advanced divers and haven't dived in pattaya (or thailand) before. do pm me the full price and itinerary that you intend to have for the 5D4Ns. |

QUOTE(nemoexcel @ Oct 20 2010, 11:16 AM) Even with the AA Sale going on, the BKK flight is still at RM408 ... From now till March 2011, this is still the lowest.. seems like this is the price to pay ... Shall we all ahead guys? hey everyone, my parents (frequent travelers) told me that january is peak season for Bangkok because of the wonderful weather. so it might be a good idea not to delay in booking the flights anymore cause AA most likely won't reduce their price for peak seasons. so how? i also check the price during that promotion period which the traveling period was jan-march 2011. they put KL-BKK from rm99 all in. but i practically went thru the whole january and didn't see anything like that even on the first day of the promotion. |

wookp, added you on msn.
you guys going bangkok to shop? i was there this july for shopping actually. honestly didn't really buy much stuff. i'm pretty sure pattaya has lots of shopping as well. actually i was thinking maybe i'll go to bangkok earlier for shopping. haha. nemo, i'll pm you my msn contact. btw, i was checking AA and notice that even if i book to bangkok next week, the ticket price is still rm190 for normal price. so i think i will take the risk of waiting for next promo. besides, coming back no promo edi. |

QUOTE(wookp @ Oct 25 2010, 07:44 PM) Munkey, yea wanted to. but then the price isn't really that big of a difference. so i think i'll wait. I thought you wanted to go ahead and buy? Anyway, some of my friends already started to buy. Shopping in BKK? Nah, nothing much to shop la. I rarely buy clothes. It's the ladies that want to go crazy shopping in BKK. btw, nemo. are you planning to bring your diving gears or rent? |

QUOTE(nemoexcel @ Oct 25 2010, 10:47 PM) lol... ya it was munkeyflo who jacked-up the AA flight booking erm. i'm going to pulau dayang for deepavali diving from 5-7th nov, so i can't make it for 6th nov. hmm... seems like a lot of "side arrangement" eh... thats good... it means everyone is serious into this and we'll definately pump our adrenalin to max!! I would suggest a meet up on 6Nov2010 (sat) to finalize things :- 1) final headcount (heads in own groups.. and we will wait for Enjoylife to pull his buddy in.... and Sezretz too) 2) headcount for those who need to join me from BKK airport - Photisarn sports apartment (in Pattaya) (refer my AA itinerary) .. and return on final day .. If headcounts are sufficient, I'll prefer to charter a van, cost a bit more, but less hassle ... 3) I need to collect a deposit (for the jump) 4) How many jumpers need the optional video/photo .. check price here .. http://www.thaiskyadventures.com/skydiving_cart.html I encourage jumpers to take it up as you dont know when u're gonna jump again 5) Get to know each other's faces Is everyone ok? Since we are still in open forum, we shall talk about venue & actual time when I have everyone's email .... ok? Added on October 25, 2010, 10:53 pm I've never left my dive gears at home during my dive trips... but this round, to haul my 15kg gears to Thailand just for 2 dives i should be following your itinerary exactly so will definitely follow you to and fro from BKK airport to pattaya. re: dive gears i was thinking the same thing. to bring the full set just for two dives or not. but i think i'm most likely gonna just pay slightly more to rent gears. i just bought my bcd and reg (most expensive stuff!) not long ago. actually bringing it for first dive at dayang this deepavali! would definitely go for dive trips someday! |

QUOTE(nemoexcel @ Jun 2 2011, 08:22 AM) Daniel / Flo, let me know if you guys have any crazy plans in the future. If my schedule is right, may I consider to tag along? LOL I'm planning to go scuba in Labuan in November. That's my next trip I guess. Since too busy these few months.Ya Daniel, Go Kart is superb... the only thing i wished i could do was to put on my own crash helment instead of their smelly ones... haha Sezretz, when are you gonna skydive / scuba dive with me/us??? You missed the 2nd round now QUOTE(wookp @ Jun 2 2011, 08:40 AM) Mine would be nz in about a month time. Hehehe. Where you going for bungee? I'll be at North Island probably driving up to Rotorua for a week, then Auckland two weeks and driving to Christchurch for a week before flying back. Haven't do research on where to bungee yet but I'm sure I wanna go for bungeeee. |

QUOTE(holyleonard @ Mar 21 2012, 12:39 PM) Tandem dive isn't that scary. IMO, bungee jump is much more scarier than tandem dive. It's like you have someone behind you who is a professional so the fear is almost gone. That's probably just me since I'm not very afraid of heights. My next skydive will be in NZ too. Not sure when yet though. Have checked out some of the prices when I was there last July. Isn't that much expensive for the jump (compared to Thailand), but the travelling expenses will be quite a lot. |
