| takeoff | Warning: As of 2015, the launch has been mostly taken over by a major expansion of a small tourist resort. Launch is becoming too small and unsafe due to many obstacles, buildings of various sizes and various post and fences completely in the way. They ruined it. There is still a small field which can be used adjacent to the diminishing launch (now a dusty parking lot) but may require a full on forward launch for proper take off. I heard they plan to build on the field too (bummer!). This is a very nice site which is disappearing due to poor communication and lack of judgement between the landowners, local pilots, local governments and especially the Thai paragliding officials. (RASAT) A very sad turn of event for paragliding in Thailand! Launch can be tricky. Many serious accidents so far so not a beginner site! This launch is not forgiving so you better be prepared, talk to the local pilots first. 2020 Update: BUMMER. More structures, parked cars, and a launch in a cultivated field that is facing perpendicular to the hill. Very tough to launch in the best conditions. Only reason I can use this launch is because the field is not cultivated at the moment... One of the best sites in Thailand doomed to extinction... |

| weather | Potential storm cells forming over the launch at times so be careful and watch for these budding electric storms! Can be tricky down in the valley when the dust devils gets going but this does not seem to happen very often. |
| rules | Airport located North of the town of Petchabun (25km south from launch). No idea what are the regulations regarding that. Thermals are more than likely to the west of it near the ridge so that seem far enough away from the airport. No complaints so far... |
| access | Follow the road on google map. VERY Easy to hitchhike up the mountain. Paved road to the top! |
