Tips
It is located in Mae Rim, a suburb of Chiang Mai, about one hour by car. A car is convenient. It costs about 600 TBH to 1,000 TBH by Songteo or GRAB, but it is best to take a car because you will have trouble getting back home. We will take the same road we took when we went to Monchem. I was intrigued by the canopy walk.
The park is large and the forest canopy walk (skywalking) is very pleasant. The park was well maintained and the greenhouse was well stocked. The park is accessible by car. Therefore, if you are coming from the center of the city, a car is recommended.
