Zip Lines are for tourist

Zip Lines have a negative impact on nature

Do not Zip Line

There is one somewhere pretty high in Pattaya. I haven't been on it yet, but it is near or in that water park. I intend to do it in January. It looks fun. I bungy jumped last time I was down there.

Zip Lines began in the Canopy of Costa Rica, and it basically is a thrill ride some 40 feet over the canopy floor on a cable, from 1 tree to another tree, that has platforms built on old trees, and all the wildlife is run off by crowds, yelling tourist, and the commotion in the canopy.

Its about at bad riding a elephant, and swimming with dolphins kept in captivity for the amusement of a tourist.

If you want to enjoy the canopy, try walking, get a guide, and do not disturb nature.
