Are you kidding me?! I loved Tonsai! The food was like a $1.60 for a Penang/Green Curry/Tom Yum/Pad Thai/Pretty much any main. The people there were awesome...except for the occasional obnoxious Australian. The locals were super friendly. The climbing was different to anything I ever climbed before, and was pretty awesome in its own way despite the oppressive heat and humidity.

Lucky the beer was so good in the Frankenjura because I thought the climbing was worse than New Nowra (and I agree with ODH on that particular subject).
