The Experience

Before You Go

Book the morning slot for cooler conditions

Early pick-ups (9:00 AM) avoid midday heat and afternoon thunderstorms common in the rainy season.

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

Sturdy trainers give better purchase on rope bridges and landing platforms than sandals or flip-flops.

Declare your weight and health restrictions

Operators ask for weights and screen for spinal/heart conditions—be honest to ensure safe harnessing and to meet limits.

Bring a small dry bag

Carry essentials (phone, small camera, medication) in a secure pouch—keepers or tethers are recommended for cameras.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short uphill viewpoint trail near the park entrance for valley and rice‑field vistas
  • Roadside Hmong craft stalls selling handwoven scarves and seasonal fruit snacks

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Asian hornbill (or other canopy birds)

Conservation Note

Stay on platforms and avoid feeding wildlife; many operators support reforestation and maintain strict waste-disposal practices to protect the forest canopy.

Mae Rim lies in the northern Lanna region historically known for teak extraction and hill-tribe settlements; modern eco-adventures reuse those foothills for low-impact tourism.

What to Bring

Closed-toe trail or athletic shoesEssential

Provide grip and ankle support on platforms and short climbs.

Gloves (if you prefer your own)

Operators supply gloves, but a personal pair ensures better fit and hygiene.

Small daypack or dry bagEssential

Keeps essentials secure and hands free while you're on the ropes and ziplines.
