The experience

Best for
Half a day of height, transfers and lunch included
Not for you if
Heights are a genuine problem rather than a nervous thrill. There is no version of this that stays near the ground

Mae Rim is the belt of hills immediately north of Chiang Mai, close enough that the drive is short and forested enough that there is a canopy worth hanging above. The zipline courses here run platform to platform through the tree line, and the sensation is less about speed than about the moment the platform ends and the ground turns out to be a long way down. Six hours door to door with transfers and a Thai lunch included, which makes it a half day that leaves the rest of your schedule intact.

The useful detail is that there are two courses to choose between. That matters more than it sounds. Zipline parks tend to sell one long circuit, and after the twentieth line the novelty has gone and you are queueing at platforms with people who have also stopped enjoying it. Being able to take the shorter option is worth knowing about if you are bringing children, if you are not certain how you will react to the first line, or if you simply want to be back in the city by mid-afternoon.

Read the rest

The operator advertises one of its lines as the longest and highest in Asia, up to 1,200 metres. Treat that as their claim rather than a verified fact: superlatives in the zipline business are competitive and unaudited, and this site is not going to repeat one as though it were measured. What is not in doubt is that the line is long by any standard, that the courses are cable-based rather than free-fall, and that the safety briefing and the harness fitting happen before anything else does.

The sensation is not the speed. It is the moment the platform ends.

The route

  1. A hairpin bend of tarmac road seen from above, cut through the dense forest of the north

    North to Mae Rim

    A short drive into the belt of hills immediately above the city, where the forest starts and the platforms are.

  2. A rail of orange helmets above rows of red harnesses hanging ready at the platform

    Briefing and harness

    Equipment fitted and the rules explained before anyone is clipped to a cable. It is the least interesting part of the day and the one that makes the rest of it possible.

  3. A rider in a harness gliding along the zipline cable above the forest canopy

    The course

    Platform to platform through the tree line, on the length you chose. The sensation is less about speed than about the moment the platform ends.

  4. A bowl of khao soi with pork and its crisp fried noodles, a salad plate and drinks beside it

    Lunch

    A Thai lunch included in the booking, eaten once your legs have decided to work again.

Why this one

01

Two courses to choose from

A longer one and a shorter one. Most parks sell a single circuit, and being able to stop before the novelty wears off is worth more than an extra ten lines.

02

Over the Mae Rim canopy

Platform to platform through the tree line in the hills immediately north of the city. Short drive, real forest.

03

Lunch included

A Thai lunch is part of the booking, which on a six-hour half day removes the one decision nobody wants to make in a harness.

04

Transfers both ways

Hotel pickup and drop-off included. Nothing about this day requires you to arrange your own way into the hills.

05

A genuinely long line

The operator claims up to 1,200 metres and the longest in Asia. We report that as their claim, not as a measurement, and it is long by any standard.

Not included

Common questions

Is it really the longest zipline in Asia?

That is the operator's claim, advertised as up to 1,200 metres, and we are reporting it as a claim rather than a fact. Superlatives in this industry are competitive marketing and nobody audits them. What is true regardless is that the line is long by any reasonable standard and that it is the one people talk about afterwards.

Which of the two courses should I choose?

The shorter one if you are bringing children, if you do not know how you will feel on the first line, or if you want to be back in the city by mid-afternoon. The longer one if you have done this before and know that the twentieth line is still fun for you. Being able to choose is the useful part of this booking.

Is it safe?

The courses are cable-based with instructors clipping and unclipping you at every platform, and the briefing and harness fitting come before anything else. That is the industry standard and this operator follows it. What you should check for yourself are the weight limits and health exclusions on the booking page, since they are specific and they are enforced.

I am scared of heights. Should I book it?

If heights make you nervous, this will probably be the best six hours of your trip. If heights are a genuine phobia, no part of this day accommodates that: there is no ground-level route between platforms and stopping halfway is awkward for everyone. Be honest with yourself before you pay rather than at the top of the first tower.

Can children do it?

Usually, subject to the park's minimum weight, which exists because a light rider can stall halfway along a line. The shorter course is the sensible option with children. Check the specific limits on the booking page before you commit.

Is lunch really included?

Yes, a Thai lunch is part of the booking, along with transfers both ways. On a six-hour half day that covers essentially everything except the photographs the park will offer to sell you afterwards.
