Paradise in Tonsai, Thailand

Life in Tonsai and Railay is amazing! We enjoy breakfast, head to a cliff in the morning to beat the heat and enjoy the shade, then relax on the beach and wade in the water before ordering a mango shake and some lunch. We have indulged in massages, reading books, personal yoga practices, and snorkeling. We have landed ourselves a comfy bungalow with buffet breakfast for a fair price of $23/night. We have made ourselves at home by adding a hammock to the front porch, enjoying a pre dinner cocktail at our favourite bar, becoming regulars at our favourite restaurants, and meeting new friends at the cliff.
Climbing has been spectacular with a variety of routes of many styles.

We have seen most of the crags here and have enjoyed roof, tufa, face, and bouldery routes. We warm up on 7a’s and have sent a few projects of 7b+ and 7c. We have a great schedule of projecting, climbing, and resting…and we are motivating each other to send…or waiting for each other to send…always a sending train with us. We are half way through our trip in Tonsai with still so much to climb and experience. This will definitely be a place to visit again and enjoy everything that life on the beach and at the cliff has to offer.
