Thailand Tourist Activities Jungle
Bungy Jumping A
beautiful lakeside setting that is worth a visit even if you do not jump. A pleasant
place to sip a cold drink while waiting for the next brave soul to mount the platform.
Unlike New Zealand where most bungy jumps take off from lofty bridges with rivers
below, the bungy jump sites in Khatu uses an eletric lift to take you to the height
of 50 meters.
 Below
the cage is a used tin mine lake. Anyone from 40 to 230 Kg are welcome to make
the jump. The operation is highly technical, the equipment is of a high standard
and the personnel are qualified Jump Masters. Couples may jump together if they
desire. Costs 1400 baht per jump. Ten minutes from Patong on the main road to
Phuket town just follow the signs.

230cc classes. There are double seaters and smaller go-karts for children. Cost

Phuket
Waterski CablewaysOffers an opportunity to water
ski around a man-made oval lake in water the color of a cup of coffee with cream.

native Thai visitors.
