The morning opens with salt and light: a small pier at Thong Krut hums as the boat slips away, motor thumping like a steady heart. You cut across aquamarine sea toward Koh Taen, where reefs rise close enough to see the coral’s texture and the water dares you to dive in. The captain steers into quieter coves; lines fly out and the ocean answers with tug and flash.
