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

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.
