Please have a look at and comment on my contrasting travel galleries - one being a climbing expedition to Bolivia and the other being a bit of r&r and rock climbing in Thailand. For the Thailand one we were fortunate to stay in Railey in Krabi province a few months before the Tsunami hit. It was and still is a fantastic place and I would encourage you to visit.
thanks!
