Tonsai Bay Resort, Ton sai Beach Thailand

---

Beach side dinning

By Tonsai standards the place is opulent luxury. All the rooms have air conditioning, hot water a fridge and satellite TV. Being Tonsai though, during low season there is only electricity from 5:00pm to 9:00am. A welcome drink awaits your arrival.

Facilities

There are many surrounding coffee shops, restaurants, bars and stores. All of them good. For more information check out our forums. There are also several different "Health and Beauty Spas" in which you can get a fantastic massage after a day of climbing, and perhaps a manicure while you are at it. The Freedom beach bar is possibly the best place in the world to watch sunsets.

    
Balcony life at Tonsai Resort and Tonsai Beach at High tide

As I said Tonsai Beach is a climbing mecca. The beach however is not really a swimming beach, and the picture above is at high tide. You can swim at high tide, but the water drains out exposing the reef at low tide.

Legend has it that 20 years ago the whole beach was owned by a mad Australian, who then tried to sell it to club med. Club Med arrived to sign, but it was low tide, and they couldn't land. The owner then had the crazy idea that he could remove the reef by dynamite. Several fruitless months later and several boxes of dynamite, he had managed to create a narrow channel for his boat. After that he disappeared into the jungle and was never heard of again...
Although at times inconvenient, the reef has protected Tonsai in many ways...
