The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning transfers

Pick an early city pickup to avoid midday heat and maximize visibility on the zipline platforms.

Wear secure footwear

Closed-toe shoes with good grip are essential for harnessing, stairs and the luge cart—no sandals allowed.

Hydrate and eat lightly

Bring a refillable bottle and have a light breakfast; Thai buffet lunch is provided midday but energy management matters for balance and nausea.

Follow weight & health rules

The site enforces a 120kg weight limit and excludes pregnant travelers and those with serious back or heart conditions—be honest on booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at a Mae Rim viewpoint near the course for rice-terrace panoramas not visible from the platforms
  • Visit a nearby orchid or butterfly farm—small local operations offer quieter breaks before/after the tour

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (often at forest edges)
  • Variety of tropical birds including hornbills and kingfishers

Conservation Note

Operators often work with local communities to limit trail-building and use catchment-friendly facilities; visitors should avoid littering and stick to marked paths to protect soil and streams.

The Mae Rim area evolved from traditional hill agriculture into an outdoor-recreation zone in recent decades, with local entrepreneurs developing canopy courses that leverage the steep, forested terrain.
