Climbing
It is hard to put together lots of information
regarding the rest of climbing in Thailand, as it is in such early stages
of development. Krabi is the main area and there are no more than a
handful of routes anywhere else. However, the rock is generally high
quality limestone and those routes that do exist are bolted.
Krabi - 500+ routes and rising (5 - 8c)
There is considerable information available regarding this area and the
links below are to sites specifically about Krabi.

Pang Nga
Just an hour North of Krabi, there lies a small town with a gaping
crag. Permission has been given to bolt it and climb.
Kao Yai - 20+ routes (5 - 7c)
Only an hour and a half away from Bangkok, this crag has 20+ routes and
rising.
Lang Sak 15 routes approx.
Situated in Uthai Thani, which is about 3 hours from Bangkok, the crag
is under-developed and highly rated.
Chiang Mai
Crazy Horse Buttress
The recently published Rock Climbing Guide to Thailand has a small
section on the crag.
It asks that you stop by the Peak to pick up a permit as they manage
relations with the neighboring farmers. There are about 30 routes of a
good quality, with the climbing being much more crimpy and balancy than
the rest of Thailand.
Mae Hong Son
About 2-3 hours North of Chiang Mai, not so far from the Burmese border
is a crag with one route on it - a 6b, 6c two pitch route.
Lopburi
This crag continues to develop and although rather
sharp in places it is worth a visit for the 5c - 6c climber with 9 routes
(2 of which are multi-pitch) and rising. The cliff is about 80 metres high
and has a lot of potential. About 40 percent of the routes need no
gardening and the rock is generally very good. There are probably 3 or 4
pitches to the very top and room for 100+ routes.
