Explore Chiang Mai with a Flying Big Basket

Thong Kwao Airfield

A new once-in-a-lifetime experience for tourists looking for that classic feeling of airborne adventure travelling at the mercy of the winds. Let the cool air blow on your face and body as you slowly gain altitude until peaking at 2,000 metres and deeply breathe in the pure fresh air. The extensive 360-degree view from high above will show you the green skyline of the surrounding nature. The warm rays of the morning sun shine through the winter mist while some mountains are totally enveloped by thick fog. Such an atmosphere of romance will be imprinted into your memory for a long time to come.

The gigantic balloon lightly floats along the gentle breeze taking you so high you can see Chiang Mai city. Look down at the Mae Kuang Dam below you and the beauty of the sun shimmering soft orange off of the water surface. The next thing you know the balloon’s basket is gradually lowering down to find a landing spot. The experience captures you so fully you don’t notice the time passing by. The final part of the flight is very exciting because you do not know where the wind has taken you. You will be on your toes until the bottom of the basket touches down onto the ground. After the excitement of landing and both your feet are planted on the ground, you will be granted a certificate of bravery. Keep it as a souvenir of your adventure above the skies of Chiang Mai.
