I was very reluctant to do this, as I am scared of heights, but my husband really wanted to go and I had some friends that had been ziplining before and they encouraged me to go. I am so glad I went. I will say, the first couple times were quite scary, and I did need some nudging, but there is nothing like it. It was a great day in the rainforest, such an experience being up so high above the tree tops. Safety is definitely a priority here. You also get a voucher for a free souvenier/t-shirt, etc. Another nice touch.

Before heading up to zipline, we were brough to the 'open zoo'. I don't remember the actual name, but it was really cool - I would go back there just for the zoo. If we return to Thailand, we would definitely bring our little ones. There are animals running around and others that are fenced in, but very accessible for feeding and touching. Very fun!

Today is my last day in Bangkok. I decided that I wanted to do something exciting and after reading all the positive reviews on tripadvisor I decided to book at flight of the gibbon. Because of both the weather and my flight leaving in the afternoon, I decided to book the early tour (leaving the Ariyasom Villa at 6.30). I woke up at 5.00, arrived at the villa and waited for the van to pick me up (I was told that the van had not yet arrived). However the van never showed up. At 6.45 someone from the service desk at the villa called Flight of the Gibbon; the said they were very sorry (which of course was Thai for saying that they were not planning to pick me up). I asked them how we would solve this and they offered me the option to 1) wait for the 8.30 pickup or 2) return the day after. Both options were impossible given my flight in the afternoon.

we went for the "go gibbon" experience in a group. We drove by ourselves fron bangkok . after check in we went in their vehicle to the starting point which is a 20 min drive.
the guides were good but after we finished there was no vehicle to drop us back and they we not bothered.We waited for 90 mins.
Even after giving them a piece of my mind they had no info as to when we could have our lunch.
i feel there is no coordination amongst them

While the ziplining was exciting, the tour is totally geared towards tourists, and doesn't provide anything in terms of a Thai cultural experience. As a Thai speaker, I picked up on a few things. First, at every point along the way (registration, orientation, ziplining, lunch), the staff made sure to pass the word that there was a Thai speaker present - maybe they make jokes about the foreigners or complain more if no one can understand them. Also, the actual guides are really low-paid, despite the high cost of the trip. They told me that if they are really busy and get asked to do an additional 3 hour tour, they only get paid 65 baht extra (about $2). I would still recommend it, but think it would be better if the staff were paid more and there were more of a cultural aspect to the trip somehow.
