Seaside trapeze training in Koh Tao

Flying Trapeze Adventures gives its students a souvenir video after their lesson, such as this one posted by Youtube user KCleo82

Koh Tao is a regular pit stop on the backpacker trail. An island in the Gulf of Thailand accessible by ferry from Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan and Chumphon, it's best known for its scuba diving and party scene.

But we found something cool right in the middle of this mix -- circus training. Well sort of. For those who’ve always dreamed of soaring through the air with the greatest of ease, there’s Flying Trapeze Adventures.

The Koh Tao company opened earlier this year and offers trapeze lessons for individuals, groups and even kids, with the classes catering to all experience levels.  Check out their website for more details.
