It is highly recommended to wear comfortable and bodyfit swimwear while parasailing in Thailand. Before taking you to a parasailing location, instructors dip you in water to address your nervousness of getting into water and getting you comfortable, so loose fitted clothes will not be very helpful for that. The clothes should also be dry fit and lightweight so that they dry quickly once you are soaked in water.
