Chiang Mai has some great excursions. We’re posting about a few of our favorites, and this was definitely Luke’s! This monkey was nuts about zip lining through the jungle and climbing the ropes course. We had a blast! And yes, it was safe : ) There are several choices, and we would recommend the Eagle … Continue reading Zipping through the trees
