Koh Lanta.
Patrick and I were climbing something called the Bungaloo and I was about three quarters of the way up. I was straddling a rock formation but just couldn’t hold it so I let go. Out I swung away from the rock. The anchor was bolted to an overhang which was 5 meters from the rock face where I let go. The belay station was on a ledge, ten meters up from the ground. I was suspended in mid air 5 meters out from the rock and 30 meters up. Actually I wasn’t suspended, I was swinging. The rope was going back and forth over the jagged lip just under the anchor like a big string over a big serrated knife with my full body weight acting as a big hand working to cut through the rope.

Wickedly Beautiful Beaches.
So I was out of my funk thanks to Becky and in the famous beach area of southern Thailand not exactly where the book “The Beach” was set, but close enough. It was in fact where some of the movie was filmed (the Kho San Road scene where incidentally my cousin Traviss and his fiancé Carly had a part!!! How cool is that?)
Traviss and Carly were actually the ones who recommended Krabi to me…I am forever in their debt for learning about such a place and the recommendations they gave me for in and around the area. It was their favorite place in Thailand and now mine! Actually it is my favorite place in the world! Not so much the town itself but the whole area and what it has to offer: the proximity to tropical beaches and remote islands with millions of things to see and do on the cheap! Figure in the excellent food and the friendly Thai people and it all added up to an amazing experience!!!

Mention Thailand and images of beaches, elephants and Bangkok come to mind. Less known is the fact Thailand rock climbing is some of the best in the world.
Thailand Rock Climbing
Located in Southeast Asia, Thailand is bordered by Cambodia, Burma and Laos in the north and Malaysia in the south. The shape of the country is somewhat similar to Italy, and you’ll find similar differences between northern and southern Thailand that you do in Italy. For rock climbing enthusiasts, the south of Thailand is where the action is. The rock formations in Thailand are almost universally limestone. The level of climbing can be as simple as bouldering or as challenging as tackling over vertical cliffs. This makes Thailand a popular rock climbing destination since it has a little something for everyone.
