In reply to Donald. Hey Donald! I'd check their website for current pricing since it's now been quite some years since I was over there :) Sorry I can't be more helpful! Generally though, in Thailand, it's better to book on arrival.

Just curious about pricing for the full day/ two half day climbing and if it makes a difference to buy ahead of time or just when you get there? Thanks!

In reply to Gioko Pat. I haven't done it in ages but yes -- you'd be crazy ripped if you did it regularly! Thanks for reading!

Rock climbing looks like one great way to stay in shape. A little dangerous too, but I guess that adds to the thrill. Good pictures too.

In reply to Mike. Utah is definitely on my list of states to go back to! Thanks for adding another reason to return!

Next time you are stateside go to Moab, UT. If you’ve ever been you know what the rock is like there and they have tons of climbing. 🙂

In reply to Alex. Me too Alex!! After climbing there for a little over a week before I got sick, I felt like I was just starting to get in shape again. I just love that whole area and there's many other fun things to do there too. If you'd like any suggestions on other places to climb and/or guides on your travels, let me know. I bet you would love climbing the Sugarloaf and the Corcovado when you're in Rio next time. Climb up and take the tram down. Hang-gliding there too. So many amazing places out there!

In reply to Dale. I've been itching to return to Tonsai ever since writing this post. It's such a magical part of Thailand and I loved the climbing experience! I'll never forget those views and what an exhilarating experience it all was.

Great article Alex and sorry I came to it so late. I spent a couple of weeks climbing in Tonsai later in 2013 and loved it. I’ve been fortunate to rock climb all over the globe and Railay/Tonsai is one of my fave places. It’s a pretty steep and intimidating place to start climbing though, so extra kudos.
Good choice of guides too. Elke and her crew at Basecamp Tonsai are awesome. She actually helped me get all my gear back after I had to leave on a medical emergency and spent 2 weeks in hospital (story here https://bit.ly/1PiV6ay ). Keep the stories and adventures coming. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Emily. Aw, thanks Emily! To be totally honest, I can't remember what I did bring up there! I think it was my point and shoot, though, because yeah I can't imagine I brought the dSLR up, ha!
