For those adventurers who love to be surrounded by the natural world and still experience the thrills of an amusement park ride, make your holiday destination Hanuman World in Phuket.
Hanuman World is named for a Hindu god who is said to be the patron god scholarship, meditation, wrestling, and most importantly, acrobatics. He is one of the central characters in the Hindu epic, Ramayana, which plays a large part in Thai legend and morality. He is often depicted as a monkey-like character, which led to the park being named after him.
Hanuman World in Phuket is located in a pristine jungle rainforest. Carefully constructed among the trees of the rainforest is a network of elevated walkways, ziplines, platforms, sky bridges, abseil points, spiral stairways, and a sky rail. All of these installations make up four routes you can choose from to enjoy the thrills of soaring along ziplines, gazing at the lush jungle below from high up in the treetops, and immersing yourself in the natural jungle environment of Phuket.
