Karst Climbing

Mon is a really experienced and kind guide. This is my first try of mountain climbing. He could guide you how to climb and patient to give you break and restart again. I almost failed several times but he kept me going.
*If you stay Ao Nang beach, and wanna try climbing at Railay, definitely could come to Mon. This store includes boat to Railay as well but same price as other Climbing Club

Amazing experience with Mon & Po for the 2 days of climb. They are really patient and provided useful tips and guidance throughout despite us struggling really hard at 6a+ routes (the rocks can be quite polished so imo gradings are not precise indicator of how hard the routes are)

If it is your first time climbing outdoors, look no further cuz you're definitely in good hands!

Mon is a great guide, always patient and laid back. He was very professional, always ensuring the climb is safe and yet challenging. His tips from the ground were helpful and delivered calmly. Highly recommended.

Probably the best climbing school in Ao Nang.
Did a 2day lead climbing course and had a great time!
Mon is an excellent teacher, always calm and supporting, and the climbing gear is good quality.
Can totally recommend him!

We had such a good day with Mon! Everything was smooth and safe, the equipment was solid, and we had a lot of fun. Mon is great, he's super engaged while we're climbing, giving tips and encouragement. He also picked spots for us to climb that were less busy, which I appreciated. What an awesome guy. Would definitely go again!

Amazing climbing experience with our guide Mon! We booked a half day session just to try it out because we heard Krabi was a top destination for climbing (we’re both super beginners). Mon was smiling the whole time. He was super supportive and helped us get through a few climbs adapted to our skill set. Easy enough for beginners to do but challenging enough to get a nice sense of accomplishment when you’re done The location and views are also stunning. All in all, a 5 star experience! For any first time climbers, you have nothing to fear, Mon is here!

Mon is highly skilled, empathic and easy going. We did a full day tour, which easily exceeded all of our expectations.
The climbs were interesting, fun, got exceedingly challenging and provided amazing views.
Abseiling in the afternoon was our first time, and the explanation was great.
The group size was 4, everyone got plenty of climb time.
Security was taken care of, helmets and gear was in good shape. Highly recommended!

I had a great 1/2 day climbing with Mon! He is a great climbing teacher. Helped me a lot when I kinda got stuck and didn't know how to move on. He also was very patient and when I couldn't make a route he was easy going and just looked for another one. I always felt very safe, when he belayed. When i finished a route he let me down very slow.not quick. You can feel that he has a lot of experience in climbing himself.
I would totally recommend him!
Thank you Mon for such a nice experience:)

It was our first time rock-climbing and we had loads of fun! We also felt safe all the time. Thank you Khun Mon!

Best full day climbing with Mon. If you are looking to climb safely and under expert guidance, Mon is highly recommended. He is very different from other guides, you will feel safe and challenged adequately

Had a blast with Karst Climbing on Railay and Phra Nang beach. Because of my experience with bouldering I felt like a private guide would be able to challenge me more, so after the super friendly owner Mon had picked me and my wife up from our hotel we all went with the boat and I was handed over to my guide Em. While my wife relaxed on the beach I climbed 7 routes in a few hours. Em was able to guide me on the rock and offered me to do harder routes, or helped me reflect not to overachieve too hard routes after he saw my technique.

The upside to the private half day guide was that I could have everything tailored to my needs, but the downside was that it is really crowded on the beaches and I still had to wait for routes to be available. Obviously I could have asked to go to a quieter place but most of the warm-up routes and 6a/6b routes were in those places. If I would come back I'd book a full day in a group tour because with the climate in Thailand I needed more breaks than I expected. In that way I would have had more value for my money, but I'm still really happy I booked with Karst Climbing. Trustworthy and good vibes! Prepare to get sweaty!

Thank you for all the good care, Mon and Em, and the t shirt souvenir! If I ever come back I'm staying at Ao Nang again and do a full climbing holiday!

We love Mon! Although we have experience lead climbing we had been away from home for some time, so decided to sign up for a 3 day course to improve/ refresh our skills and get to know the area. Mon was just what we were looking for; he is chilled, supportive, skilled and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone regardless of your level of climbing ability (we saw him manage new comers to the sport and know he is capable of climbing much higher grades with more technical skill requirements). Thank you Mon you were worth every penny!

Had a great half day climbing experience with Mon! He was very friendly, humble and approachable.

Being absolute beginners in climbing, he took us to what i assume is the easiest climbs in railay beach, and after 4 climbs, our bodies could take no more so he recommended us to go chill and explore the beach before heading home.

My first time outdoor climbing with my partner who has done it before. I’ve got a fear of heights and I was very thankful that Mon was patient and encouraging the entire time - finding routes that suit both our climbing levels; never pushing me beyond what I was comfortable with, and giving me the option to tap out once I was too afraid. It was a great first experience!

Really fun half day climbing in Railay. Mon is an excellent guide to do this with! He has insurance included in the price.

There were good safety levels.

He was very encouraging on the wall, telling us where to place our hands and feet. Our group had a range of climbing experience and he was able to take us to a variety of routes to allow everyone good climbing time. Would highly recommend!

Excellent guide and admin was very responsive. Always felt safe and the guide was very professional. Enjoyed my time climbing here.

My boyfriend and I did a 3-day climbing course with Mon and loved it! Both of us do bouldering in the gym but had no experience climbing with ropes outdoor. Mon was very knowledgeable about climbing and the area. He gave us good advices and encouraged us to challenge ourselves but also kept our levels/conditions in mind. He was very chill, supportive and attentive to details. I honestly wished we could stay and climb longer. We will def come back again!

Great day of beginner climbing with the family with Karst! Fully recommend Kuhn Mon for climbers young and old (er).

We booked a full-day climbing trip and had a fantastic time. Our guide was always friendly and helpful, teaching us the climbing basics before picking routes that were perfect for our (beginner to intermediate) skill level. The equipment was proper and we felt safe at all times. We had the chance to climb in a more quiet spot before going over to Railay Beach which is rather crowded with other Climbing groups, but still fun. All in all, we enhanced our climbing skills, had lots of fun and a stunning view on Railey Beach. You definitely get your money's worth.

This was my first time climbing outdoors outside of Japan, and I had a very good experience with Karst Climbing. I was contacting them from Japan when I was planning the trip and chose them for their very prompt and honest responses. If I didn't choose Karst I don't think I was able to have the same level of experience as I had during this trip. Mon, the guide from Karst was very helpful in every way especially during the climbing where he gave me the exact advises that I needed. I will definitely choose Karst again for my next trip and hopefully at that time I have entered 7a or above grade. The service of taking the photographs and sharing them afterwards is very nice, I really appreciate it. See you next time!
