A low swell lifts the speedboat as Phang Nga Bay unfurls: needle-like limestone towers rise from green water, gulls wheel and the smell of salt and limestone sharpens your attention. The tour moves like a narrated sequence—first the iconic Koh Tapu (James Bond Island), its sheer rock daring you to step closer, then quieter stops where wooden longtails and powerboats slip between caves and lagoons.
