The jungle coaster uses a centrifugal brake system to ensure riders do not exceed safe velocity on sharp curves.
The park is situated at a high elevation, which typically results in temperatures several degrees cooler than the Chiang Mai city center.
The zipline circuit spans over 30 stations throughout the dense tropical canopy.
The entire facility is built using a terraced layout to follow the steep incline of the mountain slope.
Pong Yang Jungle Coaster & Zipline is an adventure park located in the Mae Rim District mountains of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The site is best known for its gravity-powered mountain coaster that winds through the natural jungle terrain. Visitors can navigate the coaster individually or in pairs using hand-operated brakes to control speed. The facility features a series of ziplines suspended between canopy-level platforms. Other activities available on-site include a giant swing, a climbing wall, and various high-ropes challenge courses. The venue is integrated into the forested hillside, utilizing the elevation changes of the Mae Rim valley. It serves as a hub for outdoor adventure sports in northern Thailand. The infrastructure consists of metal tracks and cables built into the natural landscape.

Wear closed-toe athletic shoes with good grip, as the terrain is uneven and steep.
Bring a GoPro or camera with a secure chest/head mount, as loose handheld devices are prohibited on the coaster for safety.
Check the weather forecast for rain, as coaster operation may be suspended temporarily during heavy downpours to prevent track slippage.
Do not attempt to ride the coaster if you have recent back or neck injuries; avoid visiting during the peak of the rainy season (August/September) when trails become muddy.
Open daily year-round, though specific high-ropes sections may close for brief maintenance inspections during the monsoon season.
Secure all loose items like hats and scarves; strictly follow the mountain guide’s instructions regarding brake operation.
