Half the famous zipline names in Chiang Mai no longer exist. Most of the internet has not noticed: old blog posts, forum threads and even some booking sites still recommend parks that shut years ago. Here is the accurate list, checked against Google Maps in July 2026, and where to go instead.
Five parks are permanently closed: Flight of the Gibbon, Eagle Track, Dragon Flight, Flying Squirrels, and Zipline ChiangMai Baan Maetaman. Six parks are open and flying every day. Compare the six open parks, with live prices and online booking.
The biggest name of them all, and the one people still ask us about most. The famous canopy course above Mae Kampong village closed for good, with reports of the shutdown circulating from mid 2025, and Google now lists it as permanently closed. It went out with a 4.7 rating across 554 reviews. If Gibbon was on your list, the closest thing today is Jungle Flight, run by the longest-serving surviving zipline crew in Chiang Mai, or Skyline Adventure, the current top-rated park at 4.8.
Closed permanently after years as one of the most booked courses on the Mae Rim side, final rating 4.7 from 562 reviews. Its side of the mountains is now covered by Pong Yang Jungle Coaster & Zipline, forty minutes up the Samoeng road, which added the gravity coaster Eagle Track never had.
Gone as well, last seen with a 4.7 from 182 reviews. If Dragon Flight was your pick you have the easiest swap on this page, because four open parks fly in the same Doi Saket mountains it did: Skyline Adventure, Kingkong Smile, Jungle Flight and Sky Hawk. The van still collects you from your hotel.
A small cult favourite that closed with a 4.7 from just 58 reviews. Its whole appeal was one very long screaming run over a valley. The nearest thing to that feeling now is the 1,200 metre crossing at Kingkong Smile, the longest ride in Chiang Mai.
Closed permanently, final rating 4.5 from 176 reviews. Any of the five mountain parks covers what it offered, transfer and lunch included.
Chiang Mai's zipline scene consolidated hard over the last few years, and the survivors are the strong ones: every open mountain park sits between 4.4 and 4.8 on thousands of reviews. What surprised us while researching this page is how much dead information is still ranking. We found "best zipline" articles, reseller listings and map pins for all five closed parks, some updated as recently as this year. So treat any zipline recommendation without a 2026 date on it with suspicion, ours included, and check it against the table below before you hand over money.
Checked August 2026, all bookable online with free cancellation:
| Park | Rating | From |
|---|---|---|
| Skyline Adventure | 4.8 (1,294 reviews) | 2,250 baht |
| Kingkong Smile | 4.8 (1,186 reviews) | 1,900 baht |
| Jungle Flight | 4.8 (632 reviews) | 2,100 baht |
| Sky Hawk | 4.5 (161 reviews) | 1,800 baht |
| Pong Yang | 4.4 (7,497 reviews) | 1,995 baht |
| Phoenix Adventure Park | 4.4 (305 reviews) | 1,000 baht |
Compare all six side by side and book the one that fits. Real prices, real Google reviews, free hotel pickup on the mountain parks, and nothing on that page closed in 2025.
