A low, fast swell parts around the bow and the Khai Islands appear like pale stones rising from turquoise — three tiny crowns of sand and reef that catch the sun. On a typical half‑day speedboat from Phuket, the engine’s hum gives way to the hush of shallow water and the bright, brassy cry of seabirds as you step onto powdery sand.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin — apply a biodegradable sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
