Rock Climbing In Thailand

For close to thirty years Thailand has been the tropical sport climbing destination of choice. Southern Thailand is a must visit destination for any sport climber with a sense of adventure and an interest in experiencing other cultures. Koh Phi Phi then Railay and Tonsai is where it all began comprising remote islands and peninsulas cut off by imposing limestone cliffs and dense jungle making the approach often only possible by boat. Thailand is a climbing paradise consisting of classic three dimensional climbing on pocketed limestone walls, towers and caves often dripping in tufas and flow-stone formations.

Many climbs begin straight from golden sandy beaches or directly out of the ocean requiring a traditional long tail boat or kayak approach. The jungle crags could have you rubbing shoulders with monkeys, gibbons or monitor lizards and it is not uncommon to spot dolphins, sea eagles, kingfishers, turtles or flying fish while gazing down from belay ledges on multi pitch routes or during boat trips between the many islands.

Multi-Pitch Climbing Holiday Itinerary

Ao Nang 

Ao Nang is a seaside resort that is situated close to the main climbing areas of Tonsai and Railay. Both being less than 15 minutes by boat, these two areas have become the most popular over the last 20 years and although sometimes very busy they are home to some incredible climbs - many of which have become established classics of the continent. Both will be visited as day excursions. In recent years new climbing areas have been developed on the out skirts of Ao Nang - our guides will use their local knowledge to steer you away from the crowds and queues while enjoying the best they have to offer. Most of the local climbing comes into the sun at around 2pm so are morning venues - leaving you plenty of time to enjoy what Ao Nang has to offer from its abundant choice of restaurants, cafes, and bars (with plenty of live music playing in the evenings). It is also the perfect place to visit local markets, take Thai cookery lessons, book a diving course or just have a relaxing massage on the beach.

While on the mainland we will have nine climbing days, with two rest days in the middle. Climb Thailand's amazing single pitch routes and to receive one-to-one coaching on your climbing technique. And by booking the Multi-Pitch Climbing Holiday, more adventures lie ahead of you. You will climb three of Thailand's Classic Multi-Pitch routes. For instance Big Wave (Ton Sai), Humanality (Ton Sai), Ao Nang Tower (a Karst Sea Stack) and/or Lord of the Thais (Railay West). You will be guided by Trevor Massiah, who bolted Humanality (with Greg Collum) and who opened the top pitch of Ao Nang Tower on trad gear before bolting it. An experience not many people get to have: to climb some fantastic multi-pitch routes with the person who bolted them!

An Unforgettable Experience

During your trip you will be waking up in a tranquil tropical garden. Maybe you'll have a dip in the pool at sunrise prior to a leisurely breakfast, followed by a good climbing session and a leisurely stroll down the beach for sunset. These are just some of the things that make Thailand a very special climbing destination. Also the people are considered amongst the happiest and friendliest in the world - one of Thailand's other names being; "the land of smiles". The climbing in the most part is super convenient meaning that you can get a full days climbing in and still leave plenty of time for the abundance of other things that you may want to enjoy during your holiday such as: Snorkeling, Kayaking, Thai cooking lessons Scuba diving or a relaxing massage all of which you will find very reasonably priced compared to European or western prices.

Trevor Massiah

Your in-country guide, Trevor Massiah, has been climbing and developing climbing areas and routes in Thailand and other places for over twenty years. It will be his job to make sure you get the best of what is on offer. Trevor and his team will ensure that you avoid the crowds and areas that may be considered spoilt, and instead guide you to the best of the classics, the newly developed areas and secret spots. They will allow you to relax and enjoy your trip of a lifetime, ensuring the most taxing thing that you might have to do is choose a fantastic Thai meal from the menu - and even this will be made easier with their help!
