From around ฿725 (from $20.16 on GetYourGuide), rated 4.4★, with a separate 7-platform kids’ course. Flight of the Gibbon Chonburi — still widely searched — no longer operates.

Where to book & compare
| Provider | From | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Zipline Adventure, 25 platforms (this) | around ฿725 (from $20.16 on GetYourGuide) | 4.4★ from 30 reviews — the best-reviewed and cheapest way onto a 25-platform course, with a kids’ option. |
| Tarzan Zipline Jungle Adventure | around ฿1,835 (from $51 on GetYourGuide) | 3.8★ — but from only 4 reviews, too thin a base to judge. Same 25-platform concept, usually bundled with transfer. |
| Rainforest Zipline + Rope Suspension Bridge | around ฿3,240 (from $90 on GetYourGuide) | No reviews yet. A 2-hour package adding a suspension bridge walk and rope jump — wait for feedback or book the proven course. |
Frequently asked questions
Is Flight of the Gibbon still open near Pattaya?
No. Flight of the Gibbon’s Chonburi course at Khao Kheow — for years the famous zipline day trip from Pattaya and Bangkok — no longer operates; sources place the permanent closure between 2020 and 2023. Plenty of sites still sell outdated pages for it, so book one of the currently running courses instead.
What are the age, height and weight limits?
For the full 25-platform course the operator asks for roughly age 8 and up, minimum height around 130 cm, and a weight window of about 20–120 kg (some listings quote a 100 kg cap — confirm at booking if you are near the limit). Kids aged about 4–7 get their own gentler 7-platform course.
How long do 25 platforms actually take?
Under an hour of actual course time for most groups — the platforms are short hops between trees, not kilometre-long flights. GetYourGuide lists the experience at 20 minutes to 1 hour; with check-in, briefing and gearing up, plan 2–3 hours door to door including transfers.
Is it scary? I am nervous about heights.
It is a canopy course, not a mega-zipline: heights are moderate, you are clipped in continuously, and guides accompany every group. The wobbliest moments are the rope bridges and the free-fall style descent at the end, which is controlled by a device — not an actual drop. Most nervous first-timers finish grinning.
What should I wear and bring?
Closed shoes are mandatory; shorts or leggings that sit comfortably under a harness, mosquito repellent, and as little loose stuff as possible — phones only with a secure strap or pocket. Mornings are cooler and quieter than afternoons.
Zipline course or Tree Top-style rope park — what is the difference?
They overlap heavily in Pattaya: the 25-platform courses here mix ziplines with rope-park elements (bridges, ladders, nets) rather than being pure point-to-point ziplines. As of mid-2026 a Tree Top Adventure Park branded park is also listed in the Pattaya area — if you specifically want self-paced rope obstacles, compare it locally; for the guided zipline mix, book this course.
