The motor coughs awake and the longtail slices a greenish sea; limestone towers rise like curious sentries, daring you to move closer. On a clear morning the cliffs throw clean shadows across the water and the smell of salt and diesel hangs in the air. Boats thread between karst islands as guides point out narrow caves and the toothlike silhouette of Ko Tapu — the so-called James Bond Island.

Sun protection is critical
Bring a wide-brim hat, sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen — there’s minimal shade on deck and reflection intensifies exposure.
Wear non-slip shoes
Boarding jetties and walking on wet boardwalks require footwear with grip — avoid flip-flops that slip on algae.
Carry motion-sickness remedies
Seas can get choppy; bring medication or acupressure bands if you’re prone to nausea.
Respect temple etiquette
At Suwan Khuha (Monkey Cave Temple), dress modestly and follow local rules; keep a distance from monkeys and do not feed them.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin during long sun exposure and helps preserve marine ecosystems.

Light rain shell
