Access Issue: Access is sensitive in Kanchanaburi! Please behave accordingly to the guideline below.
Details
The climbing development has graciously been granted by the local authority of Sai Yok District. Please remember you are a guest, and that your behavior can create impact for future climbing access in Thailand, positive or not. Be a good steward for the climbing community.
1) Be nice and respectful toward the locals (just like anywhere, a smile and a nod can go a long way).
2) Due to limited parking and relatively small size of the current crags, a visit in large groups is NOT recommended. Please maintain a low profile and consider leaving your music/boombox in the car.
3) There is no facility at any of the current crag. It is of utmost importance that every visitor practice LNT (Leave no trace). Pack out ALL of your trash and please do all of your bathroom business before arriving.
In case of emergency, make sure to relieve your self at least 30m from the crag. Dig a hole and bury your business or simply use a wag bag and pack it out.
4) No camping allowed. Please leave the climbing area by 6 pm. Many areas are considered community forest (ป่าชุมชน). Do not disturb or approach all wildlife. Do not climb a route if there’s a sign of nesting (bird, bees, etc).
5) While shopping at the nearest 7-11 is convenient, please consider supporting local businesses. (I.e. Hug Hill Cafe near Turtle Home Crag, various local restaurants in Sai Yok District)
6) A helmet is strongly advised, especially for the belayer. Loose rock is common for new climbing area.
7) Please report any sighting of loose rocks, dangerous hardware, or wildlife nesting on FB group or page such as “Let’s go climbing Thailand” or “Thailand Mountain Sport Club” (TMSC).

Description
A brand new climbing area developed in 2019 by local climbing brother duo and is slowly becoming a popular destination for Bangkok climbers. The majority of the wall is in the sun until noon making this an afternoon-only crag.
Currently sporting right under 20 routes but the potential there is a potential for many more routes.
70m rope with about 16-20 quickdraws will get you up all the routes here.

Getting There
Located in Sai Yok District which is about 50-60km drive from Kanchanaburi town. Having a car is strongly advised.
GPS coordinate - 14.099134, 99.077847
Even with the exact GPS location, finding the crag's location can still be a daunting task. Below is the best description I can give.
- Using google map, I believe "Hug Hill Cafe", the nearest coffee shop to the crag is the best reference point (about 2km away)
- With the GPS location provided above, continue heading west.
- Once you passed a hospital on the left, be on the lookout for a dirt road turnout to the right (picture included on area page description).
- The GPS location will lead you right to the parking area which is a dirt patch in an agricultural area. Please be mindful and considerate with the locals. Do not obstruct the road.
From parking, less than 2 minutes walk to gain the crag.
