Blue Sky Paramotor

Blue Sky Paramotor runs tandem paramotor flights from a field in Ban Mo, in San Kamphaeng district about 17 km east of Chiang Mai's Old City. You sit in front of a licensed pilot under a wing driven by a backpack engine, and the flight lasts 15 to 20 minutes at up to about 1,500 ft over rice fields, with the mountains around the valley in view. No experience is needed. The pilot, Phumsit Thanasakulkornsaeng, has flown for more than 10 years, and the team checks the engine and wing before every take-off and flies only when the weather allows.

A classic morning or evening flight costs ฿2,500 per person, and a VIP sunrise or sunset flight costs ฿3,000 with only four guests per session. Children aged 3 to 5 can fly on a parent's lap for ฿1,000, and the regular flights take ages 5 to 80 up to 110 kg. Every flight includes accident insurance, safety gear, a GoPro video and a free shuttle. Reviewers praise the ground crew and the photos, and one rain-hit June sunset flight moved to the next morning, so I'd book early in your stay to leave room for a second try.
