Amongst the stunning landscape of Chiang-Rai Northern Thailand lies a Nature Park for all to enjoy...

We named it Boomerang, because of the shape of the property.  It sits alongside a paved road just 2 Km NW of the tourist town of Chiang Rai in northernmost Thailand. It's a fifteen minute stroll to the large Mae Kok river, where there are other climbing crags (public).  The rock is limestone karst, and there are dozens of gnarly climbing areas of all skill levels, including some overhangs at our site..
We also have two side by side zip lines (flying fox, for our Brit friends).  They stretch 170 meters, coming down from the cliff face, to the meadow far below. 



Plus, northern Thailand's first & only frisbee golf course - 9 holes (actually baskets on poles).  The course has large shade trees, some fairways, some rocky terrain. The longest hole is 80 meters.  Planning to have the world's first boomerang golf course, using three sided 'trimerands' (on order from HK).  

Trained staff and top quality equipment on site.  Safety is our #1 concern, though exhilaration is a close second. 

There are three 'tiers' of climbing routes on the hill.  Each is from 50 to 60 feet high, much of it vertical. Obviously, most climbing activity will be at the first tier, because it's most accessible from the ground level.  Just the first tier has over twenty five distinct routes, so the total number of routes at the Boomerang crag approaches 100, particularly if one adds the climbing routes to the west of the main staging area, including the 'big wall' which soars roughly 90 meters straight up.
