Guinness World Records has certified Associate Professor Dr Tanaboworn Sirikunakornkun’s skydive landing on Chile’s Ojos del Salado, described as the world’s highest volcano, marking a Guinness-recognised first for a Thai parachutist.

A British skydiver was killed on Saturday night after he sneaked to the top of a 29-floor Pattaya condominium to jump from its rooftop but his parachute failed to deploy, police said.
