Description
Chances are you have already seen Pong Yang. Those coaster shots that keep surfacing on Instagram and TikTok, the little cart flying along a rail above the jungle? That is this place. Seven thousand plus Google reviews make it the best-known adventure park in the north by a distance, and it earns the fame honestly. The park hangs on the hillside at Pong Yaeng, 40 minutes up the Mae Rim to Samoeng road, a drive pretty enough that some people rate it as part of the ticket.

Pong Yang Jungle Coaster & Zipline
Mae Rim
The park is on the Mae Rim to Samoeng road, about 40 minutes from the old city. Most guests take the included hotel pickup; if you drive yourself, arrive 30 minutes before your session for check-in.
Pickup from your hotel is in the morning, and the drive up the Samoeng road takes about 40 minutes. At the park you register and choose your start, most people ride the coaster first while the queue is short. The zipline circuit follows, with the guides clipping you in at every platform, then the giant swing and the nets for whoever wants them. Lunch or the coffee set is served at the park, and there is time to walk the viewpoints and the waterfall cafe before the drive back. Plan on half a day door to door.
FAQs
Children under 7 join Pong Yang free of charge. From 7 they ride the activities themselves, and kids of 7 to 12 need a signed parental consent form, which the park provides. Weight windows run roughly 20 to 95 kg on most activities and up to 100 kg on the main zipline circuit, checked July 2026. The guides confirm the details at check-in.
You control it. The coaster is a gravity cart on a rail with your own brake lever, so it goes exactly as fast as you let it. Kids treat it like a rollercoaster, nervous riders treat it like a scenic railway, and both are using it correctly.
Closed shoes are required, and clothes you can move in. The park also has a waterfall-side cafe worth staying presentable for.
Light rain does not stop the ziplines, and honestly the forest is at its best in it. The parks only pause for lightning or strong wind, and if a session is called off you do not pay.
About five hours door to door. Pong Yang is roughly 40 minutes from the city up the Mae Rim to Samoeng road, the closest of the big mountain parks. Hotel pickup and lunch options are included on the packages sold here. Free pickup covers hotels in Chiang Mai city; staying outside town, message us your hotel first and we will confirm the transfer.
No prepayment. You book online, we confirm, and you pay at the park on the day. Cancellation is free, so a change of plans costs nothing.
No. Ziplining is not suitable during pregnancy, and the park advises against it for anyone with heart, back or blood pressure conditions.

There are so many platforms to play! But we only tried the jungle coaster. It was 220 baht per person, regardless of nationality, and they accept QR scan payment. The ride was fun but I wished it was longer. Super safe, kids friendly too.

Fun day with the kids - aged 7 and 9. They loved the jungle coaster, ziplines, and the butterfly. The fly was "lame" and the VR was also pretty basic - but both were still fun. Plan to spend a fee hours here. We had time for two other activities during the day along with the time at the park. Would be nice if there was more than just the packages - as the kids would have played more on the jungle coaster if the was a discounted ticket for more rides.

For the Zipline... Wear sneakers. They have free lockers; you just pay a deposit. I bought the 14-station Zipline ticket from Trip.com for 7xx Baht per person, and I paid an extra 200 Baht for the Jungle Coaster and 200 Baht for the FlyLine. Just 3 activities were enough for 4.5 hours at my age 🤣. The food was reasonably priced. The coffee... it was OK. I paid 150 Baht for the staff to take photos—much better than bringing my mobile with me while playing.
