A trip to Thailand is packed with opportunities for high-adrenaline fun<\/strong>, and there\u2019s no need to miss out on the white-knuckle adventures just because you\u2019ve got the kids in tow. Some extreme activities in Thailand are suitable for all ages, while others are only for adults, teens and older kids, but younger travelers are sure to get a rush from seeing their parents braving these challenging experiences. So get ready to embrace the fear factor and have some extreme fun in Thailand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Fly Like A Gibbon Through the Jungle<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Ever seen a gibbon fly? Me neither, but they do swing impressively through the jungle, and you will too on Southeast Asia\u2019s longest zipline, known as The Flight of the Gibbon. This all-ages activity takes place in rainforest around one hour\u2019s drive from Chiang Mai<\/strong> <\/a>involves a total of <\/span>28 zip-lines, totaling 800 meters<\/strong>, with 53 treetop platforms. The experience also includes four abseils, the highest of which is 50 meters, and you can challenge your head for heights on four dizzying sky bridges, and the vertigo-inducing spiral staircases of the \u2018Zigzag Way\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

You Got This:<\/em> The Flight of the Gibbon might be terrifying for anybody with a fear of heights, but it\u2019s a safe activity that\u2019s suitable for kids aged five and up. \u00a0Do you really want to wimp out in \u00a0front of the kids? Family packages with <\/span>Treetop Asia<\/span><\/a> offer a four-for-the-price-of-three deal (approximately\u00a0$125 USD<\/strong> per person before discount), and the eco-tourism company works with jungle conservation projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Be a Human Slingshot in Pattaya<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Wheeeeeee! Being catapulted through the air at 150\u00a0kilometers per hour is a thing in Thailand or, more specifically, at the adventure-sports haven that is Pattaya (more about Pattaya bungee jumping later). Flying along like a human Angry Bird is both exhilarating and, let\u2019s face it, freakin’ terrifying, as you experience 4G forces and go from 0-150 kilometers\/hour in less than a second<\/strong>. Bigger travelers take note, though: there\u2019s a maximum weight limit of 100 kilograms. <\/span>Prices from around $35 USD<\/a><\/span>, with discounts for second flights, should you care to repeat the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind the Fear Factor:<\/em> Although there\u2019s no stated minimum age, this one is a bit too hair-raising for younger kids and is best suited to those aged 16 and over<\/a>. Younger members of the party can look on and laugh as their parents are willingly flung through the air at great speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Learn to Skydive in Style<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Thrill-seeking families in Thailand can check into an “extreme aviation” resort:\u00a0<\/span>Birds Paradise<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the northeastern region of Isan<\/strong>. The\u00a0center is\u00a0cultivating new skydivers, but guests can also learn to fly ultralights, scramble over obstacle courses, and take on some pretty tricky mountain biking courses. This is one of very few United States Parachute Association schools in Thailand, and with jumps at a minimum of 12,000<\/strong> feet<\/strong>, the views are incredible. The temperate climate here is in divers\u2019 favor too, and jumps take place pretty much every day of the year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Need More Convincing?<\/em> With a spa, restaurants and comfy lodgings, this is the comfortable way to learn to dive. And for those who just want a one-off experience, tandem dives (no experience necessary) are the way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Extreme Bungee Jumping in Pattaya<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

The east-coast beach town of Pattaya is as famous for its extreme sports as it is for its gorgeous beaches, and no adventurous traveler worth their salt will want to come here without taking the highest bungee jump in Thailand<\/strong>. This is one for older teens and parents, but younger kids can admire their parents\u2019 and siblings\u2019 bravery. After going through the necessary safety procedures, daredevils will be lifted to a cage at nearly 60 meters<\/strong> (try to enjoy the view if you can) before leaping into the abyss. Once it\u2019s over, bungee-ers can sip a drink at the bar and watch the whole thing back on a big screen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Safety First:<\/em> Before jumping, you\u2019ll have to sign a waiver to state that you don\u2019t have any medical conditions, and that you\u2019re not\u00a0intoxicated\u00a0(pre-loading and jumping do not mix). Bigger brave souls will also need to step on the scales (there\u2019s a max limit of 150 kilograms). Prices\u00a0start around $30 USD<\/strong> with Pattaya Bungy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Roll Along the World\u2019s Largest Water Zorbing Course<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

Get ready to channel your inner hamster! The\u00a0<\/span>Rollerball <\/span><\/a>experience in Patong, Phuket<\/strong><\/a>, involves two people clambering inside a giant water-filled ball, before they are pushed off the top of a hill to go rolling along a 200-meter custom-built course. \u00a0Kids aged six and up can join in with this one, and it\u2019s dizzyingly-good fun. The hilltop location makes for some terrific views, and a bar serving cocktails and soft drinks is a perfect place to admire the vista once you\u2019ve done your rolling for the day (don\u2019t drink and roll, it\u2019s unlikely to end well). The experience costs around $20 USD per person<\/strong>, including local area hotel pickup. <\/span><\/p>\n

Extreme Planking: <\/em>Rolling around in a giant ball not extreme enough? Try Rollerball planking: essentially lying on the ground, flat out, while two people roll over you in a ball. Just think of it as a rather unusual massage.<\/p>\n
