Phoenix Adventure Park Chiang Mai: Zipline & High-Rope Course Guide
Tackle up and move through treetop bridges, ziplines and 48 creative challenges at Phoenix Adventure Park in Chiang Mai. This practical guide outlines what to expect, how to prepare and the best times to book for a cooler, drier experience.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
No flip-flops — choose trail runners or sneakers with good grip to handle ladders, ropes and damp platforms.
Hydrate before you go
Bring a refillable bottle; one bottle of water is provided but you’ll want more after repeated climbs and zips.
Check weight and health limits
The course enforces a maximum weight (~110 kg) and is not recommended for those with recent surgery, heart conditions or pregnancy.
Book morning sessions
Early slots avoid the hottest part of the day and reduce the chance of monsoon interruptions that often start in the afternoon.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Short viewpoint near the upper platforms with valley views often missed by larger groups
- •Visit the nearby Mae Sa Arboretum for a quiet post-course walk and local plant displays
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaques (observe from a distance)

Conservation Note
Operators typically follow leave-no-trace practices and restrict access to platforms to limit tree impact; visitors should pack out trash and avoid feeding wildlife.
The Chiang Mai region grew under the Lanna Kingdom and later became a hub for eco-tourism; modern ropes courses arrived as part of a push to diversify outdoor attractions around the city’s river valleys.
