September is ok, It may rain for a few hours then clear up. It really does depend, last year September was OK weather and we had days of sunshine. If you are coming to climb and rains a lot, that may mean you can't climb as much.

There will be a new resort going up on the beach. We are in jungle, a 5 mintue walk from the beach. They have not started to build anything as yet.

It may not be possible to get a boat this late at night. The boat waits for 8 people before leaving at 100b per person. I private boat can cost 1000b. I would suggest staying in Krabi or Ao Nang, and then getting the boat in the morning,

You can travel with larger luggage. Just make sure you are dropped off by boat on Tonsai beach. (the boats will go to railay beach after) If its low tide, you will need to walk to the beach over a little mud and rocks. If it is high tide, you can jump straight from the boat to the beach. We are then only a 5 minute walk up the path on the left hand side into the jungle. We are on the back path.

We have a lot of families that do come and stay with us on Tonsai. A lot of people come with there babies and young children. The children seem to really enjoy it, they can learn to climb, slack line and love to watch the fire shows. We are happy to accommodate families here.
