Above It All
Flight of the Gibbon
By Dave Stamboulis, photos from Treetops Asia
I
n Bangkok, about the only time we get high is either from having far too many at one
of the hundreds of happy hours that make our chaotic urban city lives a bit less mad, or
else while staring out at the skyline from a ritzy dinner spot in one of Sathorn or Silom’s
high-rise hotel restaurants. But for something a bit less citified and far more adrenaline-
rushed (not to mention completely unique), why not try getting really high while riding a
zip line up above the jungle with Flight of the Gibbon?
The Flight of the Gibbon is a zip line experience where you get put on a climbing safety har-
ness system, and get to ride along through the jungle above the rainforest canopy, experi-
encing it perhaps as a bird does. Platforms and sky bridges are connected via cables travers-
ing the trees, and you get to see some pristine nature from a radically different perspective.

Gibbons tend to sleep and congregate up in high tree branches, so the zip
lines above the forest floor offer a great way to encounter them up close
and see just why the founders of Flight of the Gibbon became so passion-
ate about their project, as well as to appreciate the planet’s most agile and
fastest of all nonflying, tree-dwelling mammals from a similar vantage point.
Once you get over the terrifying (for some) experience of stepping off a
mile-high platform and become airborne in the jungle, the rest is easy and
incredibly fun. And, hey, if you are used to navigating zebra crossings on Si-
lom or Sukhumvit, this is child’s play! Bird calls are no longer above, but right
next to you; the foliage isn’t something to be hacked away at or pressing
you under, but actually below you or at eye- and arm’s length; and everyone
else in the party is having just as screamingly wonderful a good time as well.
Not only is the Flight of the Gibbon exhilarating, the scale of the operation
is completely unique. There are three kilometers of zip lines set through-
out the jungle, along with 24 high platforms from which to observe the for-
The organization started in 2004, when a group of nature lovers were out
looking for gibbons out in the wilds of Chiang Mai. The group came across
gibbon remains that looked to have been killed by poachers, and this was
accentuated even further some years later upon finding wild gibbons left
out on the roadside after several years in captivity. Thus, Flight of the Gib-
bon was started to protect Asian wildlife. Part of this protection meant
ensuring that tropical rainforests were kept intact (they are highly under
threat from encroaching human agriculture), and one way to raise funding
for jungle restoration, as well as habitat preservation, was by running an
ecotourism program that would bring visitors face to face with the wildlife
and surrounding forest.
Canopy tours became wildly popular ecotourism adventures in Costa Rica
in the 1990s, following their introduction as a method for researchers to get
closer and more intimate with their wildlife biology and diversity studies.
This model was copied in Laos and here in Thailand, first in Chiang Mai and
now also run in a pristine rainforest between the Chompoo Wildlife Sanc-
tuary and the Khao Kheow Zoo in Chonburi, where participants are taken
high above the trees and given the opportunity to both play and learn in a
real jungle gym.
For those with fears of vertigo, rest assured. Each zip line is set up with triple-
bolted construction conforming to international safety standards and the
aptly-named ‘Sky Ranger’ guides who ensure smooth high-platform trans-
fers are extremely well trained and make sure that all participants get a full
safety briefing and personalized attention during the entire experience.

est from. There are also two sky bridges to traverse, along with two rappels
from above. One zip line is a phenomenal 300 meters, making it more like
a horizontal downhill ski run through the treetops! You won’t be lacking
for excitement anytime soon here, and it certainly beats playing chicken
amidst traffic in Bangkok.
Trips include a roundtrip shuttle from Bangkok, lunch, and a visit to the
open-air safari park at Khao Kheow. The Chonburi site now also has a Go
Gibbon jungle obstacle course that includes flying swings, spider nets, and
Tarzan jumps for those who want a full adrenaline rush. Prices range from
2,400 baht for residents (proof of residency is required) to 3,300 baht for
international tourists for the main attraction, the Go Gibbon option for
2,000 baht, and package/combo deals that even include a free hotel room
in Bangkok or in Chiang Mai. Student pricing is available too. Advance res-
ervations are required. The website is very good and will send you on your
way to soar above it all.

River in the south of the capital. Here, apart from enjoying a nature walk,
you can also do your bit in saving the world by planting seeds and pricking

If you feel like getting out of Bangkok, then Jane can take you on an orga-

These days, the art of sashimi is at the top of all world cuisine, and whether
it be in Tokyo, Osaka, San Francisco, New York, or Vancouver, fish lovers line
the counters of their favorite places trying to find the perfect cut. Most
westerners douse their sashimi in wasabi, loving the extra spice and kick
that combines with the fish, but the Japanese will tell you that this is not
the right way to eat sashimi, as too much wasabi dilutes the taste, and
with good fish, they say that just a small bit of soy sauce is all that is re-
quired and that the flavor of the sashimi will do the rest.
The types of sashimi are limitless, although tuna cuts, like hamachi (yel-
lowtail) or otoro (fatty bluefin), are some of the most popular. Many people
swear by unagi (eel), claiming it serves as an aphrodisiac, as does uni (sea
urchin). In Tokyo, people pay huge amounts to sample fugu, or puffer fish,
which, if not sliced in a proper way by a certified chef, can fatally poison a
person within minutes, due to its containing a neurotoxin with no known
antidote. Sashimi is not only limited to fish, as meat can also be used and

One restaurant of note that does this is Mugendai, a fairly new, upscale

a lot here, but it’s hard to complain when you’ve got fresh Bluefin tuna

abuses and neglects. The obvious metaphor, that this cruel man likes to keep
his possessions, whether pet or wife, in cages, is a good one.
Both attempts at outlining a Thailand Decadent movement mentioned
above put corruption and the disillusionment with life at the top of the list
of topics tackled by its writers. Newman is no exception, with his whole novel
revolving around the idea that corruption and the exploitation of the weak
will only bring immense profit and even fame: “Listen, kid, corruption is part
of the system here. It isn’t a little chink here and there. It is everywhere. It is
in the bowels of the sewers with the rats and the pythons. It’s on the streets,
noodle carts, the office buildings, all the way up to the very point at the top
of Baiyoke tower.”
After being shot, beaten up, cheated, threatened, drugged, arrested, and in-
carcerated, Joe Dylan finally cracks the case and solves the insurance mystery.
He completes his mission in Thailand and buys a ticket on the Bangkok Ex-
press train from Surat Thani to Bangkok, leaving behind a stack of cadavers
and a few people to whom he had caused major loss of face. Then, just when
the reader thinks that the carnage is over, you get another ten pages of pure
violence, hatred, and instinctual struggle for survival. For Newman’s Bangkok
Express is exactly that, noir pulp fiction.
The book makes a good weekend read, but I’m not sure all readers will like
the author’s staccato prose, mimicking American crime fiction writer James
Ellroy’s telegrammatic style. If you’re used to books that have a flowing narra-
tive with sentences that are more than just half a line long, then Bangkok Ex-
press will feel a bit rushed and fragmented. But if it’s pure pulp entertainment
with an exotic flavor you’re looking for, then Newman’s book will serve its
purpose. Also, if you can overlook the few typos, not worry about the body
count, and take for granted the many coincidences that bring the right
characters in the right place at the right time, then hop aboard Bangkok
Express and enjoy the ride.
