FlyThailand Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) On the basis of personal experience, I can recommend Dream and George (Pattaya, Thailand) if you want to learn to fly paramotor, paramotor trike / quad or ultralight aircraft. Me and my friends learn with them first basic paramotor stuff and later how to fly trike/quad and tandem flights. They have all the services available (including pilot training, renting services, repairs, modifications, storage space, hangars, introductory flights, aerial photography etc.). Private airstrip and paramotor training areas. Dream have more than 15 years of experience, he is officially licensed teacher and after you do the course you can have international FAI license (official license is very important. It is not just some course certificate from the school, which doesn't have any value anywhere). Check: http://flywithdream.com/ Cobra Paramotors Co.,Ltd. http://www.cobraparamotors.com/about-us Edited October 12, 2016 by FlyThailand More info about FAI license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsquared Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I contacted George from Cobra Paramotors just recently and he said he is too busy with other stuff at the moment to do any training.....so he also highly recommended David from Paramotorthailand. I am now booked in with them next Monday 17th October......can't wait. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyThailand Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 You can contact directly to Dream (George are running Cobra Paramotors company and He is the coach of the Thai National Paramotor Team = He is often very busy). Contact information for Dream can find here: http://flywithdream.com/contact-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Morgan Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I know a pilot who learnt out in Thailand... he came back with no understanding of UK air law or any understanding of weather!!... Also the horror story of training without a reserve!!!! Use caution when learning abroad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsquared Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well I am happy to report that I have completed my training with David from Paramotorthailand, and I can confirm that he is fully competent in all aspects of training including air laws, weather. aerodynamics, safety.....and most important, he has great interpersonal skills. Meaning he has patience and tolerance for all types of students. He is Spanish, but speaks English fluently. He has his PPL (Private Pilots License) and his own plane. He has designed his own paramotor cage...Cameleon, and when I told him I am happy to support him by purchasing one of his own frames, he told me no, because he is not happy with their weight. How honest is that??? So I am getting a Polini 130 on a much lighter but strong frame.....the same as I trained on. I can sincerely recommend him, he is straight forward and keeps things simple and easy to understand with a happy temperament Cheers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsquared Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) I really need to share this.....during my training, I had a fellow student who was well versed in flying fixed winged aircraft, but not our floppy pillow cases. Due to my previous experience with paragliders, I advanced faster than my fellow student, and subsequently was airborne while he was still getting his brain to re-adjust to a more "hands-on" feeling of a wing with strings attached as opposed to pedals and levers. He had hit a brick wall with his ground handling and was not progressing at all. Two weeks after I got back home I contacted my fellow student, to see how he was going. Due to many complications, he had to suspend his training and go back home.....some 10 hours drive from the training site. Our wonderful instructor "David" insisted he take home one of the school gliders and harness so he could practice until he returns to continue his training. How good is that???....in this day and age, to find trustworthy people like this is such a breath of fresh air. Once again....I can highly recommend David if you intend to learn to fly in Thailand. Cheers. Edited November 4, 2016 by rsquared 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubai Kev Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I frequently holiday in Phuket Thailand. Would any one know if there is any club in Phuket that hires gear for visiting pilots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to fly, there are a couple of schools in the Pattaya region.....a long way from Phuket I know....or you could try Chang Mai.....even further away. Unfortunately that is all I can suggest. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflying Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I am not the kind that often leaves comments though in particular cases i think it is not only warranted but important. Prior to moving from to Thailand I had learnt hang-gliding in Australia under a very strict and safety conscious regime. In Thailand motored flight is preferrable and so I decided to learn Paramotor. Understandably I had some major concerns about safety and quality of instruction with an interest to still maintain a reasonable price. The reason I am taking the time to write this is the confidence that I now have in having choosen the right instructor/mentor. I will not waste any time in dribbling on about all the little details but sum it up as follows: I have recieved real and practical training with safety and communication in mind. Mentoring did not cease at the completion of the course and I continue to fly with my instructor every month when I return to Thailand and build on my skills. Thanks Dream and the team @ flywithdream.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
