The morning air tastes of salt and diesel as the speedboat cuts a clean wake across Phang Nga Bay. Limestone karsts rise like vertical cliffs from glassy water, their sheer faces dripping with green; the boat hums, and the guide points toward a narrow channel where canoes slip like gray shadows into secret lagoons.
