Anyone go climbing at stonegoat?

I climb at Stonegoat pretty regularly on weekends. If you're looking for outdoor trips, Tonsai is the move, but honestly Krabi town has some decent crags too if you want to skip the beach scene. There's a group on Facebook called Bangkok Climbing Club that organizes trips every few months, last one was to Crazy Horse in Chiang Mai.

If you're serious about outdoor trips, don't sleep on Ta Khun Si in Krabi for sport climbing. It's quieter than Tonsai and the limestone routes are more varied. Stonegoat is fine for training but the ventilation gets rough around 4pm on weekends. There's a solid crew that meets at the wall in Ekkamai on Tuesday nights if you want more options for partners.

yeah stonegoat is solid but heads up the grading is sandbagged as hell, v5 indoor there is maybe v3 at a normal gym lol. i climb at the wall bangkok in on nut sometimes if u want a change of pace, way softer setting and the ac actually works. definitely down for a tonsai trip though, the climbing there is unreal compared to anything in bkk

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
