One MAJOR thing to think about is where the sun will be.
It can be super sweaty to pretty much impossible to climb in the sun over there.

At tonsai/Railay u'll be fine, theres always easy stuff in the shade (but take LOTS of mozzie repellent if climbing in the shade or anywhere after 5pm.)

At Koh Yao Noi be wary of the sun, guidebooks say its in the shade all day. however i was there in May.... All day sun until 3pm, too hot to think about putting a harness on.

Havnt been to Phi Phi or Lao Liang, maybe some other can comment if they've been there around this time of year.

Before you go, head to the local Gym bouldering wall (or even better 15m Gym Lead wall), because that is the most thailand comparable climbing we have over here. Will deffinatly healp you out some :)
Have fun... Look forward to TR.
