Arrive in Krabi and check into a hotel in the Ao Nang Beach area. This is the adventure base camp, with convenient transportation and a relaxed atmosphere. Drop off your luggage and immediately feel the soft sands of Ao Nang Beach. Take a photo at the famous Krabi landmark—the Giant Crab Statue—and let the Andaman sea breeze wash away your travel fatigue.

· Professional Courses: No experience needed. Several professional climbing schools on the beach offer half-day/full-day courses. Experienced instructors provide full guidance and safety.
· Challenge Yourself: Choose your challenge from hundreds of routes of varying difficulty. Climbing with your fingertips and toes on limestone millions of years old, the sense of achievement upon reaching the top is unparalleled.
