Chiang Mai’s canopy walkway will take your hiking experience to dizzying new heights
1 December, 2015 Bangkok time

The people behind Chiang Mai’s Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden have unveiled their latest project, a bridge which will take your nature walks to dizzying new heights. Literally.

The Canopy Walkway (Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden, 100 Moo 9, Mae Rim, www.qsbg.org), is a 20-something-meter-high and 400-meter-long bridge that stretches across the Mae Rim rainforest. Hikers are rewarded with stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding greenery and mountains.

Scared of heights? Rest assured, the bridge is constructed from heavy-duty metal mesh. To ensure hiker safety, they’ll only admit up to 50 people on the bridge at a time. Access passes start at B40 per person.
