TON SAI
OVERVIEW |
| Ton Sai is a beach near Krabi in Thailand, offering a combination of inexpensive accommodation and great rock climbing routes that make it popular with both backpackers and climbers alike. Compared to neighbouring Rai Leh and Ao Nang it's relatively rough around on the edges; in particular, the beach is unsuitable for swimming and becomes quite rocky as the tide goes out.

GETTING IN - OUT
TON SAI |
There are no overland access to Ton Sai therefore visitors need to use the boat to get in this beach area. The beach of Rai Leh is a two minute long-tail ride or a 10-15 minute walk away from Ton Sai. The long-tails from Ao Nang to Rai Leh will also stop at Ton Sai on demand. However Rai Leh is a base to reach Ton Sai.There are several ways to get in Rai Leh beach from Tom Sai on foot.
a. At low tide
This is possible to walk around the rocky outcrop which separates Ton Sai from Rai Leh. The walking time is around 10 minutes.
b. At high tide
.
The steep path climbs up and over the rocky outcrop, which is densely covered with foliage. The path is quite strenous at times and takes around 10 minute walking.
c. Last option
The least used option is a longer trail which starts on the northern, forested, edge of Ton Sai and meanders past bungalows, thick jungle, and eventually to the back of Rai Leh, near the Diamond Cave area (20 minutes).
None of these options are possible at night without a flashlight/torch, and the jungle paths can be slippery and treacherous after the rain. At any time all three routes can be awkward and tricky for all but the fit and able-bodied so don't feel bad about taking the easy, scenic, and relaxing long-tail to get across.

GETTING AROUND
TON SAI |
|
The only way to get around Ton Sai is on foot. The beach and the main road act as the primary through fares for the area. It may take five minutes or less to cover the entire area. During heavy rains, the dirt road becomes muddy and treacherous.

| |
|
TON SAI FOODS |
|
There are several restaurants and bars on the beach and most bungalow operators have restaurants as well. Beware that many operations in Ton Sai are not electrified throughout the day meaning that unless they are careful with food storage you'll end up with a nasty case of food poisoning.
