Introduction

Located in Thailand's southwestern province of Krabi, this is the original Thai rock climbing mecca.

Jane Railay

Home to two of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, Railay / Tonsai is world-famous among rock-climbers and is quite simply astoundingly beautiful.

The cliffs that cut the Railay / Tonsai pensinsula off from the rest of Thailand free it from all motor traffic and protect the unique landscape. The limestone cliffs of Thailand's magnificent Phra Nang peninsula are the backdrop for Railay / Tonsai climbing.

The rock climbing at Railay / Tonsai offers routes of world class quality for both beginners and expert climbers. Climbers of all abilities will have an unbelievable time scaling these stalactite-dripping karst cathedrals.

 

 

 

The Railay / Tonsai climbing, from single to multi-pitch climbs, is mostly right off the beach. Climbers can also climb on islands scattered throughout Thailand's Phra Nang bay - routes which are not yet included in any guide book.

Bouldering Railay

 

Too many climbers are disappointed by being part of a large group sharing the services of a single guide. It is not unusual here for 6 climbers to share a single guide and rope.


 

 

 

We at Andaman Adventures and Mister Climber promise to maintain a maximum customer to guide ratio of 3:1. No other company in Thailand does this.


 

Bouldering Railay

 

After a day of Railay / Tonsai climbing, you can stroll to your resort pool or the beach for a dip, then perhaps get a relaxation or sports massage.


 

 

We at AA.com (that's Andaman Adventures, not Alcoholics Anonymous!), offer expert guidance to select the most appropriate Railay / Tonsai climbing routes for your ability.

We recommend climbers stay in Railay or in Ao Nang, a short boat-ride away, which offers way better variety and value for money for food, accomodation and day trips. Click here for Ao Nang resorts.

Prices (including equipment & insurance)

For all our climbing courses, we guarantee that the maximum climber to guide ratio will be 3:1. We often see other companies taking huge groups out with just a couple,of guides, which makes for a lousy day's climbing. We are, to our knowledge, the only company that promises to cap the customer to guide ratio at 3:1 - everybody else just books as many people as possible onto their courses, regardless of whether they will have a good day out or not.

Three Day Climbing Course: THB 6,000

  • Knots and rope technique
  • Top rope climbing
  • Abseiling (Rappelling)
  • Lead climbing
  • Multi-pitch climbing (if progress permits)
  • Hotel pick up from Railay / Ao Nang area
  • Lunch and water

 

One Day Course: THB 1,800

  • Top rope climbing
  • Abseiling (Rappelling)
  • Hotel pick up from Railay / Ao Nang area
  • Lunch and water

 

Private Guiding

If you can afford it, this is your best bet, as you get the undivided attention of your guide and don't have to share him with other people. We will make sure that you get a guide with at least 5 years experience of guiding on Railay, who we have personally climbed with and whose safety and experience we can vouche for.

The following market-beating price is subject to availability. An elite guide costs THB 5,000 per day, plus THB 1,000 for every customer booking, up to a maximum of three customers allowed.
