Ton Sai

From Krabi we got a boat to Ton Sai beach which is by far the most beautiful place I've been on this trip. It's surrounded by Limestone cliffs and the ocean. The town itself is so tiny- mostly inhabited by rock climbers and hippies. (Just my scene). The first day there we rented sea kayaks and kayaked to near by caves and the next beach over Railay Beach. It was similar to Ton Sai but more expensive and busy. We floated around on the ocean and watched the sunset even though it was a cloudy night so we didn't see much. The next day we went deep water soloing which has been on my bucket list for a while. We got boated out to a cliff along the ocean where we bouldered (rock climbed without ropes)and when you fell, you fell into the ocean. It was SO cool!!! One of the girls there said it right though, you could be really good at climbing but make sure you're equally good at jumping. I think my top height was 30ft- not the highest I've ever jumped from but it's still high enough! I'm pretty rusty because I haven't climbed in a while but I still had a lot of fun. There were some pretty great climbers in the group, some getting as high as 60/70 feet. The next day Louise and I did some top rope climbing (traditional climbing with a rope and someone belaying you). It was a lot of fun, but REALLYYYY hot!! That time out was a good combination of fun and challenge. It made me want to come home and get back into climbing. We were staying in a little rustic bungalow- we had 3 girls in one double bed, our "mattress" felt more like a box spring, it had no cushion.. and we had a little bathroom in a cement room with no sink. The power was only on from 6pm- 3am, which powered our single fan. It was nice having it to fall asleep at least. I really loved Ton Sai, I didn't want to leave- it was so relaxed and easy. <3
