Looking for a thrill that’ll shake the fear right out of your flip-flops? Pattaya’s got two of the most extreme adrenaline rides in Thailand — and no, we’re not talking about riding in a tuk-tuk with no seatbelt. We mean the Bungee Jump and the Human Slingshot.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to fall from the sky voluntarily or be whipped into the air like an angry yo-yo, this one’s for you.

The Classic: Bungee Jumping in Pattaya

What It Is:

You stand on a platform 60 meters in the air. You question your life choices. Then you swan dive toward the earth with just a big rubber band tied to your feet. Welcome to bungee jumping — where the free-fall is real, and so is the panic.

What to Expect:

  • Towering crane above a lake

  • Professional jump crew (encouraging but mildly sadistic)

  • Count of 3… and you’re flying

It’s terrifying, freeing, and surprisingly addictive. If your friends don’t cheer you on, they’re not real friends.

Quick Stats:

  • Height: 60 meters

  • Fall time: ~6 seconds

  • Vibe: Classic thrill, extreme Zen (after the scream)

 The Challenger: Human Slingshot Pattaya (a.k.a. The WTF Ride)

What It Is:

Imagine lying down in a harness between two giant towers with 150+ meters of tensioned bungee cord stretched out beside you. Now imagine being yanked from 0 to 150 km/h in under a second, launching vertically into the air, spinning like a squirrel on Red Bull.

That’s the Human Slingshot — exclusive to Pattaya and not for the faint of heart or weak of bladder.


What to Expect:

  • Flat on your back, heart pounding

  • Pullback tension you can feel in your soul

  • Count of 3... and you’re catapulted skyward

  • You scream. You flip. You remember that life is fragile and amazing.


This is the only ride in Thailand where you get shot into the sky by 40-meter towers and experience 4–5 G’s of pure launch force. This is next-level insanity — and people love it.


Quick Stats:

  • Speed: Up to 150 km/h

  • Distance launched: ~50 meters

  • Acceleration: Faster than most sports cars

  • Vibe: Pure chaos, then laughter

💥 Which One Should You Do?

Let’s not sugarcoat it — you should do both. But if you’re short on time (or guts), here’s the cheat sheet:

  • Do the Bungee if you want to challenge your fear and fall with style.

  • Do the Human Slingshot if you want to scream involuntarily and possibly make new sounds your body has never made before.


And if you want the best bragging rights in Pattaya, film both and drop them in the group chat. Someone’s jaw will hit the floor.

Final Words

If you're only in Pattaya for the beaches and beer, you're doing it wrong. This city is home to two of Asia’s most insane activities, and they’re waiting for you to step up, strap in, and scream your face off.

So…Jump or launch? Your move, thrill seeker.
