Cliff-Jumping at Chiang Mai’s Grand Canyon
Chiang Mai’s Grand Canyon is about 40 minutes south of the city and one of Chiang Mai’s hidden gems. An old limestone quarry, the area has been flooded over the years and is now a popular swimming and diving spot. The canyon is no longer Chiang Mai’s best kept secret and there is now a 50 Baht entrance fee that goes towards improving safety in the area. The best way to get there is by renting a motorbike as there is no public transport to that area. Driving south along Canal Road, look out for signs suggesting a right turn to the canyon after about 20 minutes.
Chiang Mai Grand Canyon costs 450 baht to enter, 50 baht to rent a locker and 100 baht (refundable deposit) for the locker key. The ticket price is 350 baht for children under 1.20 metres tall and, for children under 90 cm, only 90 baht. Lifejackets are given to all guests and must be worn at all times. There is no time limit on the ticket, so you can stay all day. There is a restaurant and coffee shop at the waterpark. You can also rent towels, goggles, kayaks and inflatable water toys for an additional price. The Chiang Mai Grand Canyon waterpark is located about 20 minutes out of Chiang Mai City and can be reached by taxi, songthaew or scooter.
