More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engines wake before sunrise and the speedboat slips away from Krabi's shoreline while the first light picks out limestone cliffs on the horizon. Early-morning haze lifts as the boat threads between karst towers, the sea pushing cool spray across the deck and the islands resolving into white beaches and turquoise lagoons.
