Sky Diving in Pattaya

I headed back to Singapore right after my Austria trip and went for a sky diving trip with my dear friend Joanette. We are both August babies and turning 3-0 this year so we thought of doing something to celebrate this year :)

I am really glad she asked me along. If not for her, I doubt I would even to do something like this in my usual traveling plans. I was apprehensive about it after agreeing (all thanks to the many scary plane accidents in the recent months) but all the anxiety was uncalled for.

We checked into Rabbit Resort in Pattaya.

 We had a super huge bed for just the 2 of us.

With my most frequent traveling mate Nette :)

 Like I have mentioned, my anxiety was totally uncalled for. I was expecting the feeling of adrenaline rush where my heart will move all the way to my throat, the feeling when taking a roller coaster. But nope! Nothing of that sort. The feeling was soft and cushion-y when I jumped off the plane. I think i can say it was like landing on a mountain of fluffy cotton wool? (not as if I landed on one before hah)

This is us all geared up.

 We took a small plane up.

With my instructor.

The plane was so small, it could only fit us.

My moment...

And we leaped off the plane! Even though it looked like we were free falling, there was no free fall feeling at all.

 Out came the parachute and this was the view from above. Surprisingly I was not frightened. In fact I thought the view was beautiful. We spun around once clockwise and once anti clockwise and we prepared for landing. I did had the motion sickness feeling while being spun around. The whole process was shorter than I thought it would be. Probably only 3 mins?

 And we landed. I didn't even had to run hah
