This is a great intro to off-road mountain biking. The descent through Doi Suthep National Park presents us with sweeping views of the Mae Ping valley below. It’s one our most scenic and popular rides.
You’ll enjoy national forest and plantation access dirt road with ruts, rock garden, a few steep down hills at times, but always very manageable.
The first part of the trip helps us to evaluate your riding ability and we talk about techniques to make your downhill cycling even more enjoyable.
Everyone is encouraged to practice the newly learned techniques before we head down to trail. Absolute no lengthy up hills disturb the rhythm and spirit of the forest. At our many rest points we enjoy the beautiful views of Chiang Mai below before finally arriving at the Huay Tung Taew reservoic.
This is Doi Suthep park as its finest. Starting at the summit, the off road trail changes to single track, leading us deep into a highland jungle gorge. A physical challenging climb out and lengthy downhill rewards us with fantastic views.
National forests and plantations provide rutted dirt roads, rock gardens, some steep down hills, which then turn into a single track completely unused by vehicular traffic. The long steep uphill is great if you are in good shape. Very rewarding.
With only short steep uphills we wind our ways across the valley, past small farm houses where we witness the local hill tribes in their natural environments. We ride further downhill, between plantations and forest with beautiful pine trees changing to eucalyptus on the way down as we approach the Mae Rim valley floor. This rarely-used forest road presents the rider with plenty of exciting challengers.
This trip ends at beautiful Wat Ampawan, where our driver is waiting to pick us up. A late lunch at a secluded Orchid Farm with a small lake gives us a chance to reflect on the highlights of our eventful day.
Ride the longest, the most extreme and best researched downhill single track in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
Remote and forgotten hilltribe trails are our playground. Join us and ride with our advanced mountain bikers and our knowledge staff riders.
After breakfast, a short jungle trekking by experienced guide. Then, the highlight of the package is The Flight of the Gibbon – a 3 hour, 2km air trek high up in the rainforest canopy using zip lines and skybridges taking in the glory and majesty of old growth, high altitude pristine rainforest.
Lunch is served on your return, lastly there is a spectacular trek up beside the impressively beautiful Mae Gompong Falls.
Before you return to the city of Chiang Mai there is an afternoon snack with locally grown organic Arabica coffee. Then it is into the VIP minibus and back to civilization.
How long does it take?
It depends on the tour, but plan on around 8-9 hours round-trip. This includes transportation, eating, getting geared up, and the ziplines. You are up in the treetops for several hours. We will get you back to the city in time to have a great dinner.
Do you have availability on the dates I am coming?
Probably. As long as you are booking a few days in advance, we can usually accommodate you. We are open every day of the year. We ask that you book at least 1 day in advance.
Do you do hotel pickup in Bangkok?
We would love to pick you up at your hotel like we do in Chiang Mai or Pattaya. However, if we did that you would never make it out of the city! With the size and traffic in Bangkok, it just isn't practical. There are 2 pickup points in the city: Kaosorn Rd (Bangkok Tourist Center) and Sukhumvit, Soi 1 (Ariyasom Villa Hotel).
Note: If you have at least 7 people in your group we can send a van(s) to your designated pick-up point.
What about hotel pickup in Pattaya?
Pattaya is small enough that we are able to pick you up at your hotel. Just tell us your hotel (Jomtien, South, Central or North Pattay) and room number.
What is included in the price for the BKK/Pattaya Tour?
It's exciting, but not physically demanding. The Go Gibbon experience requires more agility and fitness, but most people should be fine. Please see our video to get a sense of what is required.
I am not sure about some of the details. Should I still use the booking form?
Don't worry, we're flexible. Just put in your best guesses about number of people and dates. We will contact you within 24-48 hours and at that time we can discuss any questions.
Can children go?
Absolutely. There is not a minimum age but we do have a minimum height of 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches) tall to fit in the harness properly. Young children are often taken in tandem with a guide.
Is there a discount for kids?
There are no discounts for children as although we love to have them - they often require extra care from our staff. But this is definitely a family-friendly adventure!
How fit or athletic do we need to be to do the zipline tour?
It's exciting, but not physically demanding. The Go Gibbon experience requires more agility and fitness, but most people should be fine. Please see our video to get a sense of what is required.
What is the maximum weight?
The maximum weight we allow is 130 kg (286 lbs). However, our zip lines and rigging systems are engineered to hold much more than this and greatly exceed international standards.
How safe is it?
Very safe. You are led by experienced guides who ensure you are properly connected to the safety equipment at all times. We are the only canopy adventure in Thailand designed, built and overseen by international experts with more than 20 years of experience. We spend considerable time and money for ongoing guide safety training.
We already have a car. Can we drive ourselves?
If you are in the Bangkok & Pattaya area, then yes. Our tours are located at the Khao Kheeo Open Safari in Chonburi and is not far and relatively easy to find. See our map from Bangkok to Chonburi and Pattaya to Chonburi.
