Recommend that you book ahead of your trip.
Accom - Green Valley is one of the best for the price.
Transport - Fly by Tiger Air to Krabi. Take shuttle bus 150bht or taxi 350bht to Ao Nang. At Ao Nang, take long tail boat to Tonsai. Emphasize TONSAI, or they might "conveniently" drop you at Railey, which means you must take a long hike!
Areas to climb - Depends on how long you are there. One word of advice, don't be stuck at Tonsai Roof!
Must try routes -
Tonsai Roof - Tidal Wave, 7b+ (almost every Singaporean's first 7b+)
Melting Wall - Cross-Eyed, 7b/Affenhitze, 7a+
Fire Wall - Burnt Offerings. 7a/Groove Tube, 5
Wild Kingdom - Freedom Safari, 7a/Mutual of Omaha, 6c/Concrete Jungle, 6b+
Dum's Kitchen - Wake and Bake, 7a+/Reminiscence, 7a+/Society of Gravitational Studies, 7c+/Lion King, 6c+
Tyrolene - Missing Snow, 6b+/Loisl, 6c+/New route on the leftmost, 7a/No Have, 7b+/Blind, Deaf and Dumb, 7b+/Tyrolene Air, 7c/Affentanze, 7c
Must try food - Som Tam, BBQ Chicken, Thai Prata, Mango Sticky Rice, Masaman Curry, Grilled Baracuda, etc...
Must do things - Multi-Pitch- Humanality, ogle at babes at Pranang Beach, Be able to warm up on Tidal Wave at the end of your trip.
MOST IMPORTANTLY - don't stick to your own company. get to know people, talk to people, make friends, make babies.
