With some time spare before starting my new job I couldnt resist heading back to Thailand again. This time I wanted to explore beyond the Tonsai/Railey crags to Koh Yai Noi and Koh Phi Phi. Unfortuantely several days of severe weather and flooding meant I only managed to head to Koh Phi Phi and Tonsai this trip.
Koh Phi Phi had mainly grades under 6c with a mixture of slabs and overhanging routes. I found a small seciton on Tonsai wall with some very newly bolted routes and a local guide told me one of which was a 7b.

I demolished all the routes on Koh Phi Phi so we headed back to Tonsai in the rain. Once the rain cleared we did a few routes and coll insisted on climbing back through the cave through Thaiwand wall for a bit of adventure!
