Places of Interest: Chiangmai Balloon Park

A new tourist attraction in Chiangmai, the park gives you the chance to take a ride up into the sky in a hot air balloon. A ticket costs about 1600 baht (btw it is cheaper for Thais) for a ride lasting about 15 minutes. However, this is a tethered flight (meaning the balloon is attached to a rope throughout) so the balloon only floats up and down at the same spot, up to a height of about 40 metres.

Apparently, untethered rides are also available but it is much pricier at about 5900 baht for half an hour’s ride.







Here is a video of the balloon in mid air:
