Formerly known as Thailand Mountain Sports Club (TMSC) - a grassroots climbing club was formed in 2016 by local Thai and expat Bangkok climbers with a purpose of maintaining rock climbing’s hardware in Central Thailand.

Having now been formally registered as a climbing association in 2021, we are now known as Thailand Climbing Development Association (TCDA) becoming the only representative for outdoor rock climbing in Thailand. Our works in recent years have reached far beyond central Thailand. We have collaborated and supported bolting in several popular destinations including Khon Kaen, Chiang Dao, Krabi Ao Nang, Koh Tao and Kanchanaburi.

TCDA’s mission is to promote and support the growth of climbing across Thailand with focus on establishing internationally recognized standard.
