Flight of the Gibbon: Time For Some Serious ‘Monkey Business’
UPDATE : 30 October 2009
by Maneeya Dhammataree
If you’ve ever dreamed of swinging – Tarzan-style – from one tree to another through lush, tropical jungle, your fantasy is now virtually attainable thanks to the launch of a new attraction at Khao Kheow Open Zoo.
Known as the Flight of the Gibbon, a system of cables and pulleys, which allow you to swing through the trees, was installed by engineers from New Zealand, while Tree Top Adventure Company is responsible for ensuring the zip line system is operated safely and effectively.
The easiest way to reach Khao Kheow Open Zoo, which is located near Si Racha in Chon Buri province, is by car. The drive will take you about one hour in total.

“Giving Back” – The Project
Our Goal is to plant 1,000,000 trees over the next 20 years. Initiated in 2008, we have planted 7,200 flourishing plants in the rainforest so far.
Our" Village Green" program supports local villages by keeping roads clean, preserving. Thai culture and rainforest tree planting. We also support a very successful wildlife re-population program involving many native species.
We are partnering with the Thai Government so we can do the ultimate good... preserving Thailand’s precious eco-system.
We educate everyone about the rain forest eco-system. More than 1000 children per year, (mostly orphans and under privileged children) fly each year free of charge. Another 2000 children fly for a modest fee. Education and wildlife awareness are our major goals.
