The Experience

Before You Go

Footwear matters

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with good grip — trainers or lightweight hiking shoes are best for platform transitions.

Hydration and heat

Bring a small water bottle and sip frequently — humid conditions and short climbs between platforms can sneak up on you.

Weight and health limits

Operators enforce a maximum weight (about 120 kg) and restrict pregnant guests and those with recent surgeries or heart conditions.

Listen to guides

Follow the safety briefing and crew commands precisely; guides will stop risky behavior without refund if protocols aren’t followed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Climb the highest platform for a rare view toward Phuket’s inland hills and, on clear days, the Andaman Sea.
  • Ask guides about native trees on the short wilderness walk — they often point out edible fruits and medicinal species.

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Tropical birds such as hornbills and bulbuls

Conservation Note

Operators typically follow low-impact practices like using pre-cut timber platforms, limiting group sizes and educating guests to avoid disturbing flora and fauna.

Phuket’s interior forests sit on older bedrock uplifted by tectonic activity; timber platforms here are built to minimize tree damage while allowing access to viewpoints.
