Meet the Staff -
Michael Weitzman
Originally from the New York area, Michael made the move to Krabi, Thailand in 2004. It was easy to fall in love with the beauty, culture, people and climbing of the area. He is married to a local woman and has two children born and raised in the Krabi province.
He is currently the Managing Director of Laoliang Island Resort, the first stop on the Rock and Sun Thailand Island Tour.
In the States, he holds a Teaching License in the Social Sciences and has spent a large part of his working history in the experiential education field.
He has climbed extensively throughout the southern region of Thailand; most specifically at Railay/Tonsai, Laoliang and Ko Yao Noi.
Recently, he has been spearheading the development of local crags on the mainland (reminscient of the karsts in the Yangshuo Province of China).
In the southern Thailand region you will struggle to find anyone with as much intimate knowledge of the climbing. He really is "the man on the ground."
He is currently also involved in working to creat an outdoor education/community centre to service the local communities and international schools throughout the ASEAN region (a work in progress).
Guide & Instructor for Thailand holidays.
