The engine hums and the Andaman Sea dares you to slow down and look—your private driver steers through palm-fringed roads, past granite headlands that drop into turquoise water and into the ochre alleys of Old Phuket Town. In a single morning or an afternoon you can move from a hilltop Buddha statue to a market stall steaming with curry, each stop chosen by you.
