Daisher\u2019s latest feat signals an exciting new era for Thailand, highlighting the country\u2019s emerging potential as a premier destination for adventure sports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\">\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center\">Soaring to New Heights in Bangkok<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">The city skyline of Thailand\u2019s capital city was the perfect backdrop for this historical pursuit. Daisher leapt from a plane high above the city, soaring past the famous lebua Bangkok, an iconic location in Bangkok featured in the Hollywood hit, \u201cThe Hangover: Part II.\u201d The hotel is also known for the Sky Bar &amp; Sirocco, whose gold dome is seen from anywhere across the city. He then landed with pinpoint accuracy on a moving cruise along the Chao Phraya River. The spectacular feat offered a jaw-dropping perspective of Bangkok\u2019s stunning views, which will surely wow both local and international crowds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">&#8220;To me, Thailand is a BASE jumper\u2019s paradise, and performing this inaugural flight required an open-minded city\u2019s perspective to allow us to do this kind of thing,\u201d said Daisher of his momentous leap. \u201cUrban environments are unique because the wind gets funky around the buildings, creating turbulent air and eddies similar to a rock in a river. Because Bangkok is such a busy city with a lot of congestion, we had to dive to build speed and then flatten our trajectory to ensure we made the distance to the river. We were so focused on sticking the shot and ultimately landed with precision on the boat,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWYefvxj4hd\/\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdAZP5otsHiwGxF7ymoKeYeW7EWNkjuzp6AdSJv4XF0zSTqrJxeH9qY_SSIhIYiBLS4CGh18gHa2lKbuHRoBRi9uzfX3KBELx35h2yuvHl_CSxpV9ABNfq83eZmYDo_JPcV4DnU9GluBBgYIRbdFw?key=8COoWPUgdqn74OR39Ws4Bg\" width=\"276.0\" height=\"497.0\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWYefvxj4hd\/\">First Wingsuit Flight Bangkok<\/a>\u00a0(Instagram\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1qgJ9vplOIkJyi7nn2HSzfHt-ZcV3B5S6fEfo55gGihU\/edit?usp=drive_link\">Website Embed Code<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">The historic achievement was made possible through a collaboration between the European energy drink brand Red Bull (Blue &amp; Silver) and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), a partnership grounded in respect for the country\u2019s culture and natural beauty.

It has always held a special place in my heart, and to return now to fly past these buildings was a dream come true,\u201d said Daisher. \u201cBetween the incredible architecture, the food, and the friendly culture, this country is a BASE jumper\u2019s paradise. It was an honor to finally find the right time and place to share this party in the sky with the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">From Hollywood Stunts to Global World Records<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">Daisher is one of the most prolific aerial athletes in history with\u00a0over 12,000\u00a0successful jumps to his name. His elite precision has made him one of the go-to action stuntmen in Hollywood. He is credited with personally coaching and training Tom Cruise for the historic motorcycle BASE jump in\u00a0Mission: Impossible \u2013 Dead Reckoning\u00a0and performed the iconic &#8220;Barrel of Monkeys&#8221; mid-air rescue in Marvel\u2019s\u00a0Iron Man 3. Beyond his stunt work in films like\u00a0Human Flight 3D, Daisher is a serial record breaker who cemented his legacy in 2017 by completing a world record 63 BASE jumps in a single 24 hour period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdKs-n7kx6AeFdUGPLCrRR6J368EjaJj0QkuKGoY8w5rwf6hUW1dse4uJW0n6O25gUnTAXZTq224RIX1Fzsi7DkzdfKUhYu54Odz7Q_A6njPf1FJ6PQwRw7JRr4gukZdDectMeTE8THJeM-kEeKTHI?key=8COoWPUgdqn74OR39Ws4Bg\" width=\"480.0\" height=\"320.0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">Photo Credit: Yosayoot Wiengviset \/ Red Bull Content Pool<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">Looking Beyond the Skyline<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;font-size: large\">Fresh off his epic, history-making flight over Bangkok, Daisher shows no signs of slowing down.
