Chiang Mai Zipline Adventure: 1000m Canopy Zipline in Mae Rim
Clip into a harness and fly through a century-old canopy on Thailand’s 1,000m longest zipline. This Mae Rim eco-adventure pairs adrenaline with rainforest education, guided safety, and a local Thai meal.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure footwear
Closed-toe shoes with good grip are required—no flip-flops; straps prevent slipping on platforms and during climbs.
Hydrate before arrival
Bring water and drink beforehand; heat and exertion from climbing platforms can sap energy quickly.
Follow guide instructions
Guides control braking, harness checks and attachments—always wait for their signal before launching or unhooking.
Protect small cameras
Use a wrist strap or hand your camera to a companion—dropping gear from a zipline platform is common and replacements are far away.

Conservation Note

Mae Rim’s forested slopes transitioned from teak logging in the Lanna era to protected green spaces; modern eco-operators emphasize canopy health and community benefit.
