Description 

Amazing private island one province south of Krabi. One island, one resort with about 60 pitches of classic Thailand climbing. Also, amazing bouldering cave and endless DWS!

As secluded as it gets. Great alternative to the crowds of tonsai and railay during dec.-march

afternoon climbing as the rock faces east. many climbers end up spending more time snorkeling, kayaking and simply relaxing as this is a true island paradise experience.

Seemed to us like the best kept secret in Thailand. No crowds (and unpolished holds - at least for now...it's advised you keep the chalking up to a minimum), large variety of first rate routes, great food, amazing kayaking/etc. Do yourself a favor and build some time into the itinerary for Tonsi and make the trip...you'll be glad you did
