Take all your own gear,don'tworry about a rack, just 15 or so draws will suffice, and make sure you take shoes that can deal with small pockets, vertical smearing (i.e. stalactites and the like) and loads of heel hooking. A single 60 is good, take some long slings and single gates for slinging stuff and make sure you take a pair of 3/4 climbing pants for knee-barring etc.Buy one of those colourful mats as a rope bag and don't leave your wallet and important stuff in your hotel room, take it with you! IMO the VIP buses are the best way to get from Bangkok to Krabi, they're actually cheaper and faster than local transport. Oh and take loads and loads of good (e.g. Metolious) chalk!!! Also, you can buy this awesome mosquito repellant made from citronella which works better than anything else I've come across. Good stuff!
