The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Secure, flat shoes give stable footing on platforms and during climbs between lines.

Bring a small, secured camera

Use a wrist or neck strap—phones are quick to drop when you’re leaning into a launch.

Hydrate before and after

Tropical humidity and adrenaline raise your heart rate; drink water before the course and take advantage of provided bottled water.

Book morning slots

Lines are more likely to operate and visibility improves before afternoon showers roll in.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ton Chong Fa Waterfall—short drive from Khao Lak for a quick forest swim
  • Laem Pakarang (Coral Cape) for a low-key sunset and coastal rock formations

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Great hornbill and other canopy birds

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize low-impact routes and trained guides to limit disturbance; avoid feeding wildlife and stick to marked trails to protect the forest understory.

Phang Nga’s coastal communities were shaped by fishing and tin mining; Khao Lak shifted toward eco-tourism after rebuilding from the 2004 tsunami.
