I agree Tonsai is pretty spoilt nowadays but it's be a shame to miss out on some of the amazing climbing in both Tonsai and Railay, especially at the grades the OP mentions! The multi-pitch 7a-7b+ sport routes on the Thaiwand, Monitor, Cat Wall etc have to be some of the best in the world.
That's not even mentioning Koh Yao Noi, which is probably "where it's at" in the Thai climbing scene right now....totally beautiful, unspoilt and amazing climbing.
