Against all odds, it was possible to try and climb a few of the harder routes. Most of the routes at Tonsai Roof, where I spent most of my time, are about 15 to 20 meters long and heavily overhanging.A little insight into a few of the routes I sent:Jai Dum (Black Heart) (8b)Kun Suk Khao (8b)Cara Congreso (8b)Cream of Tom Yum Kai (8a+)Tantrum (8a+)Sex Power (8a)Elephant (8a)Gaeng Som Pla (7c+) (Flash)Phet Moak (7c+) (Onsight)Voodoo Doll (7c+) In addition to sport climbing routes, Thailand is also famous for its deep-water soloing spots! The base camp at Tonsai beach regularly offers deep-water soloing tours, USUALLY!Due to a few deaths by drowning caused by some little sh*tty jellyfish, the deep-water soloing tours were canceled…. So the only option left was to reach the nearby good spots by kayak. Unfortunately, the rock quality is not that good due to the constant exposure to salt water. But the fun is absolutely fantastic!! :D The great thing about Thailand is that you can find deep-water soloing spots almost everywhere along the coast and you can find your own unique lines. Tonsai also has something to offer for bouldering. On the one hand, there are a few boulders in front of Dum`s Kitchen, and on the other hand, a Temple Cave. This is a stalactite cave where you would certainly have to pay admission somewhere else in the world :P .In addition to a few harder traverses that I was able to climb on my second attempt, namelyMachinegun (8a-traverse) and Roof Rocker (8a-traverse), which are more like routes than boulders, I was able to climb my first real 8a boulder "Geang Tai Pla", which goes straight through the steepest part of the cave! In addition to all the other impressions you get in Thailand that have fascinated me more than anything else, whether it be the lifestyle of the locals or the special place of faith in this country, there is only one thing left to say:It was awesome!!
