ThaiWakeClub review
Lakehouse CNX is a small, rider-run wake spot in Hang Dong, about 20 minutes from Chiang Mai airport. It is the easiest cable to reach for anyone flying into northern Thailand. It sits roughly 600 m from the Grand Canyon quarry area, and the vibe is more lakeside hangout than theme park.
Based on official information and our research, the cable is a 2-tower System 2.0 straight line with four features: two kicker-pipes and two up-ledges. That is a tidy progression set for intermediate riders working on their first rail and air tricks. Most riding is private hire, so the cable is yours for the slot: 750 THB for 30 minutes (one beginner or two intermediates), 1,350 THB for an hour and 2,300 THB for two hours, all gear included, as of October 2026. For beginners, a private 30-minute session with coaching is a calm, crowd-free way to learn.
The weekly sessions are the budget play. Sunday "Wakeboard All Day" is 600 THB per person (10:00–18:00, max 15 riders), Thursday morning training is 600 THB and the Friday sunset session is 400 THB. Book them early, as caps are small.
The drawbacks: one short line means less variety than a full-size cable, there is no on-site accommodation or pro shop, it is closed on Mondays, and parking details are not confirmed. Overall, it is the go-to cable in Chiang Mai, especially for groups who can split a private hour.
What we like
- About 20 minutes from Chiang Mai airport
- Private hire means no queue

History & story
Lakehouse CNX is a small, rider-owned cable on a private lake in Nam Phrae, Hang Dong, about 20 minutes south of Chiang Mai. It sits only around 600 m from Canyon Wake Park and shares its published phone number, which suggests the same wake crew is behind both. We could not find an opening date or the owners' names; the earliest public reviews date from November 2025. It now runs a regular weekly calendar, and its Thursday coach has more than 15 years on a board. It feels like a riders' hangout, ideal for visitors wanting a Chiang Mai session and locals who need a regular place to train.

Background and history
Lakehouse CNX is a small, rider-owned cable spot on a private lake in Nam Phrae, Hang Dong, about 20 minutes south of Chiang Mai city (source: official site, Waketricks). It sits only around 600 m from Canyon Wake Park at the Grand Canyon water park, and the two share the same published phone number, which suggests the same wake crew is behind both. We could not find a sourced opening date or the owners' names; the earliest public review we saw dates from November 2025.
Because Canyon's wake operation is unconfirmed for 2026, Lakehouse is the park we point riders to in Chiang Mai. The official site says its Thursday coach has more than 15 years on a wakeboard.
The cable and features in detail
The setup is a single 2-tower System 2.0 straight line, used for both wakeboarding and wakeskating. Waketricks lists four features: two kicker-pipe combos and two up-ledges, which is a compact but well-chosen set for learning airs and first slides.
The key difference from big parks is that the cable is hired privately, so you are not sharing a loop with strangers. Riders swap in and out on one line, and with a 2.0 the operator can stop the rope and bring a fallen rider back. That makes it efficient for coaching, and the one Tripadvisor review describes an experienced rider landing a first 360 and backflip in a single short session.
Rules and what to know before you go
As of October 2026, the official rates are per group with all gear included: 750 THB for 30 minutes (one beginner or two stronger riders), 1,350 THB for 1 hour, 2,300 THB for 2 hours and 3,100 THB for 3 hours, with larger groups allowed at longer bookings. Groups can split the cost, which makes the hourly slot good value for two or three friends.
Weekly open sessions are cheaper for solo riders: Sunday Wakeboard All Day (10:00-18:00, 600 THB, max 15), Thursday Training Day (10:00-12:00, 600 THB, max 5) and Friday Sunset Session (15:00-18:00, 400 THB, max 10, with games and a workout). The park is closed on Mondays and open 10:00-19:00 the rest of the week. Booking is online via SimplyBook, or through LINE and WhatsApp. Spaces are capped, so book ahead.
What reviewers often say
Reviews are few but uniformly warm. Wanderlog shows a 5.0 Google average across around 60 reviews. The themes that keep coming up are friendly owners and staff, skilled coaching, clean water, good-value Thai food from the lakeside kitchen, and a relaxed hangout atmosphere with floating toys, slackline, an ice bath, a grassy lounge and a fire pit.
Wanderlog's summary suggests weekdays for a quieter visit and bringing friends, since the format rewards small groups. The small number of reviews means the picture could change; we will update as more appear.
Recent news and events (2025-2026)
The main development is Lakehouse's emergence as Chiang Mai's active wake option while Canyon Wake Park next door appears quiet. Its weekly calendar (Sunday all-day, Thursday training, Friday sunset) is the regular 'event' schedule for local riders. Chiang Mai's cooler months, roughly November to February, are the most comfortable time to ride; see our best time to wakeboard guide. For the neighbouring park, read Canyon Wake Park.
Plan your visit
- Best time
- The cool season (roughly November to February) is the most comfortable in Chiang Mai; on any day, the Friday 15:00–18:00 sunset session avoids the midday heat.
- How long
- A 1-hour private slot shared between two or three riders is plenty for a first visit.
- What to bring
- Sunscreen, a rash guard and a towel; a light layer helps on cool-season mornings.
Tips
- Book through the SimplyBook page, since private slots and capped sessions fill up
- Split a 2-hour private slot (2,300 THB) among up to four beginners to cut the cost per person
- Sunday all-day riding (600 THB) is the best value if you are confident on the cable
- The park is closed on Mondays, so plan around it
