Morning light slices across Phuket’s harbor as a traditional long-tail boat slides away from the pier, engine throbbing beneath the hull and palms blurring onshore. Within an hour the skyline softens and karst towers rise like weathered columns out of emerald water; the boat skirts narrow channels, and sea eagles wheel above, daring travelers to look up.
