Pongyang Jungle Coaster & Zipline is an outdoor adventure park set in the forested hills of Mae Rim, near Mon Jam. The ride kids get most excited about is the "jungle coaster" — a little two-seat rail car that winds through the trees, with a brake the rider controls, so you can race it or take it slow. A parent can sit alongside a child, which is what makes this a place the whole family enjoys together rather than just one adult riding.
Highlights for kids
Beyond the coaster, the park has several activities to match a child's age and nerve — some are fine for little ones, others need an older kid. Here are the main options to plan around before you go.
- Jungle coaster — a two-seat rail car through the forest with a brake you control; children from around age 3 can ride seated with an adult.
- Zipline — a shorter route (around 12 stations) and a longer one (around 34 stations) that swing across the valley, generally for children about 7 and up.
- Fly Line, Quick Jump & Giant Swing — swinging and jumping activities aimed at older kids and teens who want a bigger thrill.
- Cafe and mountain-view seating — for anyone not riding, or waiting on the group, with drinks and a spot to watch the action.
When to bring the kids
Come early after opening, when the mountain air is still cool and the queues are short, so kids can get in several rides before the sun gets strong. Bring snug trainers, a long-sleeve top for the sun and a light jacket in case the mist rolls in. Each activity has its own weight limits, so check at the counter before buying tickets to avoid disappointment.
Before you go
- Opening hours — the ride zone is open daily, roughly 09.00–17.00 Monday to Friday and 08.30–17.30 on weekends, with the cafe open until about 18.00. Hours can change, so check the venue's page first.
- Rough prices — the jungle coaster is about ฿150–160 per round; ziplines are sold as packages by number of stations, from a few hundred baht for the short route up to around a thousand-plus for the long one. Prices are approximate — check on site or book ahead.
- Getting there — it's in Mae Rim, about 40–50 minutes from Chiang Mai city, up the winding road towards Mon Jam. Drive yourself or rent a car or motorbike; you can drop a pin in Google Maps.
- Which ages it suits — the coaster takes little ones from around age 3 (seated with an adult); ziplines are for about 7 and up, and some activities require a signed parental consent for children aged 7–12.
Safety and value
For every zipline and swing activity, staff fit you with a harness and helmet before you ride — listen to the briefing and follow the crew's instructions closely. This is a mechanical adventure park, with no animal shows or animal rides, so parents who care about that can relax on this front. If you're coming as a group or a whole family, compare a package ticket against buying rides one by one — a bundle is sometimes better value.
