Deep Water Soloing Krabi

Deep water soloing (DWS) fever hit Krabi in late 2009 with Wee's Rock Climbing School being the major player. Wee arranges trips from Tonsai Beach, and the excessively strong are now coming to pull hard on pristine rock over tropical waters.

In many ways deep water soloing is the next great frontier. All you need is a pair of shoes, an absence of fear and start clmbing straight from your kayak. As word continues to spread, Railey and Tonsai will no doubt become the centre of a deep water soloing Mecca.

To sign up for a trip, get yourself over to Wee's shop on Tonsai beach. Go there the night before you wish to go, and place your name down on the list for the next day. Wee organises the timing of the trip to coincide with the best tides, so times change a little every day.

Kayaking Ao Nang, Krabi

There are a number of kayaking operators offering different packages in Krabi. The most basic option is to rent a sea kayak by the hour from Ao Nang beach, which allows you to explore the coast near where you are staying, or simply get to the next, deserted beach along the shore. Or, you can go on an organised full-day trip into more remote areas.

The most popular day trips in Krabi being kayaking at Koh Hong and Ao Thalane. Koh Hong features the beautiful white sand of Pelay beach and shallow waters that allow you to explore around caves accessible only through narrow tunnels. Keeping you company are the sea eagles soaring above and starfish just below the surface.

Ao Thalane is a small fishing village, located in the heart of Krabi’s local mangrove ecosystem. By paddling through the intricate waterways by kayak, you can penetrate the diverse swamps and limestone karsts, highlighted by a lagoon and canyon.
