Hi, Welcome to the site.
We've successfully grown papaya, sugar cane, katuk, camote leaves, okra, corn, yucca, malungay, and kangkong 200m from the ocean at 5m altitute in the Philippines. What crops exactly are you thinking of? I'd tend to agree with the original poster here, that your first inroads into gardening in the tropics would be most likely to be successful if you start with something that you know does well here. Experiment a little with anything, but don't get your hopes up too high from the beginning. It takes a lot of new tricks and different varieties to be successful in a new climate.
You might get a few ideas about things to try by considering the recommendations I gave to a question about planting varieties for Nicaragua. Your climate will be even hotter than hers but the leafy greens mentioned at the end of the article are likely to thrive wherever you plant them.
