Bungee Jumping in Pattaya, Thailand

Bungee jumping in Pattaya means one thing to most travellers: the 60-metre plunge at Xbungy, also known as Pattaya Bungy Jump, the highest bungee in Thailand. A single jump costs about THB 2,500 (roughly Rs 6,250) and includes your video, a certificate and insurance. It is one of the easiest big-ticket thrills to add to a Pattaya trip, and unlike the water sports along the beach it runs all year. This page covers the price in rupees, the operator’s safety record, the weight and age limits, timings and how to reach the tower, so you can book with your eyes open. For the wider picture, read our full guide to bungee jumping in Pattaya and the country-wide roundup of bungee jumping in Thailand.

Bungee Jumping in Pattaya: At a Glance

Price and What’s Included

Four of the five guides that rank for this activity name a price, and most stop at the Thai baht figure. Here is the same information with the rupee conversion an Indian traveller actually needs (calculated at about Rs 2.5 to the baht).

The THB 2,500 bungee price is fixed regardless of your weight, and there are no hidden add-ons: the video and certificate are part of the ticket. Insurance paperwork is signed on arrival, so carry a photo ID. You can see the current gate rates on the entry fees tab.

The Jump: What to Expect

The whole visit takes about an hour and a half. If you have never jumped before, the process is more relaxed than it looks from the ground.

• Check in and sign the consent and insurance form, then step on the scale so the crew can set the right cord.

• Sit through a short safety briefing where the team walks you through the harness and the jump signal.

• Get kitted out in a full-body harness with ankle ties, double-checked by two staff members.

• Ride up the 60-metre tower to the platform, which sits directly over the water pool.

• Jump. You free-fall toward the water, feel the cord catch, and rebound a few times before being lowered.

• Collect your certificate and download your HD video (kept live for three months).

Xbungy (Pattaya Bungy Jump): Safety and Track Record

According to the operator, Xbungy has run since 1989 and logged more than 500,000 jumps with a 100% safety record. Xbungy states that its tower, cords and harnesses are built and inspected to SANZ (Standards Association of New Zealand) standards, the same benchmark the sport’s original operators use. In practice that means every jumper is weighed, every harness is checked twice, and staff turn away anyone with a heart condition, high blood pressure, epilepsy or who has been drinking. A long record plus an independent safety standard is what separates it from the newer crane-based operators around Pattaya.

Our Thailand desk recommends booking a morning slot in the cool season. The wind picks up after midday, and queues are shortest before 11 AM. We check the prices and safety details on this page against the operator’s current listings.

Other Jumps in Pattaya

Xbungy is not the only way to fall in Pattaya. Two more options suit different nerves and budgets.

• Human Slingshot (Xbungy). Instead of falling, you are launched. Two people sit side by side and get catapulted to about 90 metres at roughly 150 kph in one second. It costs THB 1,400 (about Rs 3,500) for two launches and runs from the same site.

• Pattaya Park Tower jump. A 170-metre controlled rope descent from Pattaya Park Tower in Jomtien for about THB 200 (about Rs 500). It is a gentler, slower thrill than a true bungee, and a good warm-up if the 60-metre platform feels like a lot.

Best Time to Jump and How to Reach

Jump between November and March, the cool dry season, when the sky is clear and the wind is calm. The monsoon months from June to October can pause jumps on windy afternoons, so a morning slot is safer any time of year. Xbungy sits on Thep Prasit Road in Bang Lamung, about 15 minutes from central Pattaya Beach and roughly 150 km (about two hours) from Bangkok. Most packages include hotel pickup and drop within Pattaya. For station-by-station directions, see the how to reach tab, and check daily hours on the timings tab. If free-fall is not your only plan, skydiving over Pattaya and scuba diving round out the adventure list.
