Event info
Greetings pilots!
This is the second year we have held the competition at this wonderful flying site. Our team has taken the lessons learned from the previous 2023 event and understand exactly what we can improve.
Phu Thap Boek is the name of the starting point located near the magnificent Buddhist Temple. This paragliding site is one of the most popular in Thailand and has long established itself among both freefly pilots and sportsmen. The wide valley, low mountain ranges, without narrow gorges and strong winds, give a great opportunity to organize safe and successful competitions. The nearest village is Lom Khao, a few kilometers away from the starting point, where pilots can stay.
Welcome to Thailand!)
