About Bird's Paradise Dropzone
A small crew running a careful dropzone in the open country of northeast Thailand.
The story
A dropzone built by skydivers, for everyone
We wanted a place where anyone can try a skydive, and where licensed jumpers and students are looked after just as well. Open land, quiet skies and a friendly town make Sawang Daen Din a good home for that.
We keep the day small and the prices clear. We fly when it is safe and we wait when it is not. Every jumper gets time with their instructor before and after the jump.

The part that matters
Safety
Skydiving carries real risk. What a dropzone can control is equipment, training and the decision to fly.
Rated instructors
Every tandem instructor holds a current rating and has hundreds of tandem jumps before they take a customer.
Maintained gear
Reserves repacked on time, an AAD in every rig, and logs we are happy to show you.
Careful calls
If the wind or cloud is wrong we do not fly. A day of waiting is better than a risk.
Come and see it for yourself
Visitors are welcome at the airfield, whether you jump or not.
