Kingkong Smile Zipline Adventure Tour From Chiang Mai

Kingkong Smile’s course runs above the forest at Maetonluang village in the hills north of Chiang Mai, with a 1,200-metre twin-cable zipline — two parallel cables so you fly side-by-side with a friend or family member. The five-hour trip includes round-trip transfer from Chiang Mai city, safety training, full safety gear with new gloves per guest, a Thai buffet lunch, and first-aid insurance.

After a short briefing and gear check, you work through a series of platforms linked by zip runs and sky bridges, with the main event being the long twin cable that crosses a valley section. The staff are trained and hands-on — new gloves are issued for each guest, safety equipment is checked at every platform, and first-aid insurance covers the activity. Between rides you get views across mountain ridges and tracts of rainforest, with the lunch buffet served at the site between sessions. The twin-cable design is the operator’s calling card — it’s why families with nervous riders often pick this course over the single-line alternatives.

It’s a fit for anyone reasonably mobile and not afraid of heights — kids generally need to meet minimum weight limits, so check before booking. The transfer is shared and runs to a fixed schedule rather than on demand; pickups outside Chiang Mai city are charged 1,000 THB per car extra. Closed-toe shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dusty make the day easier. Afternoon sessions can feel hot in March-April, so the morning slot is worth asking for in hot season. Avoid wearing skirts, long necklaces, or anything that can swing into the gear.
