The day opens with low tide channels slicing through a forest of prop roots; paddles whisper as the group slips into water that reflects limestone cliffs like weathered metal. In Ban Bor Thor the mangroves reach out and guide the kayaks through narrow tunnels, then give way to a wider lagoon where limestone towers loom and cave mouths darken the horizon.
