A new adventure thrill open about 60 kilometers East of Chiang Mai in Mae Ao district called Flight of the Gibbon.
Here in the National Park, cables have been strung between tall trees up to 80 meters in length and 100 meters
above the forest floor. If you are afraid of heights this is not for you.
When you arrive you are put into a harness, given a helmet and a safety briefing. We were then driven in a van about
5 minutes to the starting point. Here another safety briefing is given along with what to do. The two guides will do
everything for you. They will hook the pulley and safety cable up to the suspended cable. They show you where to hold
on and off you go.
The first one was kind of scary but after that the next 13 runs were lots of fun. At one point we had to repel from a
higher stand to one a little lower in the same tree then cross a swing bridge to another tree. At the end we repel
down to the ground.
Picture does not do this great adventure justice, you need to see the video then do it your self.
