Chiang Mai Jungle Flight: Thailand’s Longest Zipline Coaster Adventure
Soar above northern Thailand’s forested ridges on a 1.1 km zipline roller coaster near Chiang Mai. This half-day trip combines European-standard safety gear, guided treetop platforms, and a Thai buffet lunch for an accessible, high-adrenaline rainforest experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures beat the heat
Choose an early slot to avoid afternoon storms and hotter temperatures on the platforms.
Bring closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes help on ladders, spiral stairs and muddy approach trails.
Watch weight and height limits
Confirm the operator’s 100 cm minimum and 120 kg maximum before booking to avoid issues at check-in.
Protect small items
Use zip pockets or leave loose items at the base—phones and sunglasses can be lost at speed.

Conservation Note
Operators emphasize low-impact platforms, reforestation, and not feeding wildlife; visitors should stay on marked routes and pack out trash.
The region sits within historic Lanna territory; forests around Mae Rim and Doi Suthep-Pui have long supported subsistence agriculture and teak extraction before eco-tourism grew.
