Krabi Rock and Fire Games kicked off on 16th April and for three days and nights competitors sweated it out for the crown.
If you have visited the area, no doubt you will have been struck by the craggy outcrops and mountains which characterize this southern province. Aside from providing a stunning backdrop for beachside relaxation, they double up as a challenging terrain for climbing enthusiasts.
A large percentage of Krabi’s visitors are attracted by the area’s natural climbing walls, and the annual climbing competition is a huge event. Both Thai and foreigners competed in the competitive climbs during daylight hours, while after dark the other elements of the competition heated up.
Fire shows are part of the experience of staying in Railay, and visitors are always wowed by the synchronized shows locals lay on. Competitors created a mesmerising display of dancing flames on the sand in time to their favourite tracks. After the competitive heats finished, spectators got the chance to dance as a number of local bands provided music and entertainment for the event.
