The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series will make its first appearance in Thailand with four of Krabi province’s cliffs taking centre stage in the competition on Oct. 26.
The competition will take place off four cliffs in different parts of Krabi, with the first taking place off a 24-meter high cliff in Wang Long Bay on Phi Phi Don. The second site will be at Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh with a 27 m high platform staring cliff divers in the face.
The final two sites will be at Viking Cave and Hong Island, 24.5-meter and 28-meter respectively.
Spectators and judges will have amazing 90-degree views from several angles on Hong Island as the divers twist and somersault their way into the warm waters of the Andaman Sea.
The event begins at 9.30 am and will continue until 12.30 pm. For more information regarding traveling to the event and tickets, contact selected local tour operators here.
