Phoenix Adventure Park

Phoenix Adventure Park in Mae Raem, Mae Rim, combines high-rope obstacle courses, ziplining and a miniature train in a countryside setting north of Chiang Mai. The rope courses are about balancing, climbing and working your way between platforms, while the zipline programmes put more emphasis on travelling along cables. Choose the activity itself rather than treating every package as the same treetop experience.

The park also lists a restaurant, coffee shop, playground and sheep farm. These give a group somewhere to pause around the booked activities, although accompanying visitors should confirm their own transport and any paid extras separately.

Choosing between ropes and ziplines

High-rope obstacle courses

The rope courses mix challenges such as a climbing net, moving timber, balance beams and aerial tunnels. You move yourself through the obstacles, so the enjoyment comes partly from solving each crossing and finding your balance. Being comfortable at height matters even if the individual movement is not especially fast.

The Small programme has 20 platforms, including three ziplines, and is listed at roughly 40 minutes of activity. The Medium programme has 25 platforms, including six ziplines, and takes around an hour. The Large combines the two courses into 45 platforms with nine ziplines, taking approximately 1.5-2 hours.

The Medium course includes different obstacles rather than simply adding a few platforms to the Small. Its listed features include a gecko wall, spider web and giant bamboo, while the Small has challenges such as a monkey bridge, seesaw and sky-net tunnel. The Large is the choice for visitors who want both sets and have the stamina for the longer circuit.

Zipline programmes

Zipline Program A lists 10 platforms and six ziplines, with around half an hour for the activity. Program B expands this to 24 platforms and 14 ziplines, with roughly an hour on the course. Both include additional structures and a train ride, so neither is simply one uninterrupted cable run.

These options can suit visitors who prefer more sliding and less obstacle-course work. Check the full route before booking, particularly if you are unsure about stairs, exposed crossings or heights. The park says activities cannot simply be skipped once you are on the course.

Prices and package inclusions

Normal activity prices are 700 Baht for Zipline A and 1,500 Baht for Zipline B. High-rope Small, Medium and Large programmes are 900, 1,200 and 1,700 Baht respectively. The operator also advertises advance-booking discounts; confirm the price applicable to your date and booking lead time.

The advertised activity packages include a train ticket, drinking water and gloves. Round-trip Chiang Mai transfer and a meal are an additional 300 Baht per participant, rather than automatic inclusions in the normal activity price. Specify whether you want that option when reserving, and provide your hotel address to confirm collection.

If someone in your party will not use the courses, ask for the accompanying-visitor arrangement. Do not assume an activity ticket, spectator transfer and independent train ride have the same price or inclusions.

Age, height and participation requirements

The high-rope programme conditions list ages 10-65, a minimum height of 130cm and a maximum weight of 110kg. The zipline conditions list ages 6-65, a minimum height of 110cm and the same 110kg maximum. These are different eligibility rules; a child eligible for ziplining may not qualify for the rope course.

Give the park accurate ages, heights and weights before booking. Ask about any physical limitation that could affect climbing, balancing or following the equipment instructions. Meeting the numerical limits does not guarantee that someone will feel comfortable completing the route.

Wear sports shoes, long trousers and a long-sleeved shirt, as requested by the operator. Secure loose belongings and use the supplied equipment according to the staff briefing. Allow time for fitting and instruction before the course itself.

The train and time around the activities

The Phoenix Train offers a different pace from the treetop routes and is included in the advertised adventure programmes. The restaurant and coffee area make it possible to sit down afterwards rather than heading directly back into the city. Meal inclusion depends on the package you bought.

For families, clarify which playground or train activities smaller children can use while older participants are on a course, and who will supervise them. The presence of facilities for younger visitors does not remove the age and height rules for the adventure activities.

Getting to the park and planning your session

The address is 147 Moo 6, Mae Raem, Mae Rim, 50180. It is approximately 18 kilometres from Chiang Mai, with the operator allowing around 45 minutes for the journey. Allow extra time for hotel collection stops and traffic before your booked session.

The park lists daily opening from 8:30am-5:30pm. Organised morning collection is around 9am-9:30am, with an afternoon option around 1pm-1:30pm. Reserve the programme and transfer together; these are collection windows, not continuous shuttles every half hour.

If your hotel is outside the collection area, the operator lists meeting points including MAYA and Tha Phae; agree the exact point before travelling. If driving independently, use the park’s current entrance directions and confirm the latest arrival for your chosen course. Opening until 5:30pm does not mean the two-hour Large programme can start at closing time. Add travel, briefing and meal time when assessing the whole outing.
