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
Another brand new climbing area developed in early 2020.
Currently, it's not a suitable crag for beginner climber as there is no route under 5.10 (6a+). However, if you are a 5.12 climber, I believe this will be one of the best crags in Kanchanaburi in terms of quality.
Some of the routes, especially on the right end of the crag start receiving shade from around 1 pm. With exception of winter months (Late Nov to Jan), this is likely an afternoon-only crag.
More routes will continue to get added.
Getting There *PLEASE READ*
This crag is located in the sub-district of "Baan Sri Monkol" (บ้านศรีมลคล) which is about 20 minutes southeast of Sai Yok district.
Currently, the parking is available at uncle Cheun's house (ลุงชื่น, GPS Coordinate 14.021966,99.2046852) and is limited to 4-5 cars per day. PLEASE DO NOT park or trespass the farmland in the area as this has specifically been requested by the locals. There is a parking fee of 50thb per visit.
from the parking lot, it's approximately 10-15 minutes of casual hiking to the base of the crag.
