Thailand Sets New World Record for Largest Flag Flown During Freefall

On October 7, 2026, the 'One Flag. One Nation. One World Record.' project, led by Dr. Thanabovorn Sirikunakorn—known as 'SuperToom'—achieved a new world record. During a major rehearsal over Pattaya Beach in Chonburi, the team successfully deployed the largest flag ever flown while in freefall.

Professor Dr. Keerati Charoenchonvanich, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, was the first to land on the beach carrying the Thai national flag as part of this mission. This event serves as a significant milestone for the project, which aims to inspire national pride and demonstrate the collaborative spirit of the participants.

For residents and visitors in the Pattaya area, this event highlights the ongoing preparations for a larger, official record-breaking attempt scheduled for December 5, 2026. The project organizers have invited the public to participate in singing the national anthem during the upcoming December event. While this rehearsal has successfully established a new benchmark, the final confirmation of the record and the full scope of the December festivities remain to be seen as the team prepares for their next jump.
