The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate before and during

Heat and stair climbs make electrolyte-rich water important; bring a refillable bottle or use on-site water between runs.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Grippy trainers or light hiking shoes protect your feet on platforms, stairs and the ATV track.

Respect weight and health limits

The operator enforces a ~115 kg weight cap and age/health restrictions—declare medical issues at booking.

Secure loose items

Use straps or leave cameras/phones in a locker; a tethered camera or chest bag works best.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside coffee stalls near the park—good for local brews and views
  • Short trail to a nearby viewpoint for valley panoramas, often quiet after lunch

Wildlife

  • White-handed gibbons or macaques (in forest canopy)
  • Hornbills and raptors soaring above ridgelines

Conservation Note

Many canopy operators work to minimize tree impacts with platform-based routes, use local guides and support nearby community incomes—follow staff guidance to reduce disturbance.

The surrounding hills were part of historic northern Lanna territory and have a mix of hill-tribe villages and reforestation projects tied to local livelihoods.
