1. Activity Selection Recommendation: Complete All Platforms: Initially, I chose Platform 19 due to time constraints, thinking it would end earlier and I could return sooner. However, in reality, the return time to the hotel is the same regardless of whether you choose the half or full tour—you go and return in the same vehicle. Even with the half tour, the instructor will still ask if you want to continue when you reach Platform 19. If you choose to rest, you can walk a short distance back to the starting point to rest and wait; if you choose to continue, you can complete all platforms and then purchase your ticket at the rest area. 2. I chose the first time slot for the experience. Although the departure time was early, I could catch a nap on the bus. The zipline activity ends around 11 PM, which coincides perfectly with lunch! 3. You need to decide at the beginning whether you want to buy photos. If you do, an extra photographer will be provided. Our group had five people, and the photos cost 1700 baht (the price varies depending on the number of people; however, the more people, the cheaper the shared cost). I must say, the photos are pretty good. After all, they take photos every day, so they know which spots to focus on and how to get the right angles. It's worth spending some money.
It works well and is cheaper than the price at the store. This is very convenient; I can go shopping light on my last day and pick it up before heading to the airport.
Give a thumbs up to our driver Mr Thanapon, he drive very safe and steady. In the 3 hour ++ journey we are able to rest and sleep in the car. We will look for him next time when we come back to Chiang Mai.
