You feel the engine hum beneath the pier as Phuket fades on the horizon and limestone towers of Phi Phi appear like abrupt pages rising out of the sea. The ferry slips east across roughly 45 km of Andaman blue — an easy 1.5-hour run that gives time to watch clouds sketch shadows over Pi Leh Cove and Viking Cave.
