From May 21-23, Phuket will be playing host to its first-ever paragliding competition.
Approximately 40 contestants from countries around the world are expected to arrive for the event.
Among the challenges that will await the contestants are spot landings, passing gates, fun flights and even fancy dress flying. There will also be a photo contest by lead sponsors Canon.

Those who want to watch the contest live should head down to Naiharn Beach between 8:00 and 18:00.
