The King Climbers guidebook describes the limestone rock climbing, sport
climbing and deep water soloing (DWS) found around the popular holiday resort
of Krabi in Southeast Thailand. Here the limestone cliffs of Thailand’s
magnificent Phra Nang peninsula are home to the famous Railay and Tonsai rock
climbing areas, which are extensively covered.

The guidebook covers over 1,000 routes of which more than 600 have been re-
bolted with titanium bolts. A symbol by each route indicates if the bolts are
titanium, stainless steel, or even unsafe! Refreshing honesty about bolting
safety is always a sign of a good guidebook. All the routes are illustrated on
topos with French grades used throughout with text indicating the number of
bolts per route. At the start of each area is a location map, a description on
how to get there and some general information about the area and the climbing
to be found.

As well as Railay and Tonsai at Krabi, the guidebook also covers the rock
climbing on Phi Phi Island, Phi Phi Don area, the island of Koh Yao Noi in the
Phang Nga bay, and the Trang Province, including Laoliang Island. Brief
details on climbing in Central and Northern Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and
Malaysia are also included.
