The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe, grippy shoes

You’ll climb stairs and stand on narrow platforms — flat hiking shoes or sneakers are best to keep footing secure.

Secure loose items

Use a phone tether or leave small items in the locker — anything that falls from height is gone for good.

Hydrate before you go

Tropical heat can spike quickly; drink water before check-in and bring a refillable bottle.

Arrive 30 minutes early

Check-in, forms, and a safety talk are required; arriving early keeps your group moving on schedule.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Kathu Waterfall trail — a short, shaded walk not far from the park
  • Khao Rang viewpoint in Phuket Town for a sunset panorama away from beaches

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques
  • Asian hornbills (occasional canopy sightings)

Conservation Note

The park minimizes ground impact by keeping guests in the canopy and supports local guides; visitors should stick to rules to protect flora and wildlife.

The inland forests around Hanuman World were historically lowland habitat and later part of agricultural and tin-mining hinterlands before tourism reshaped Phuket’s economy.
