A high-speed bow cuts the morning glass as Phuket falls behind and the limestone towers of Phang Nga Bay rise like weathered pillars from the sea. Salt and diesel mix in the air, gulls wheel, and the boat’s wake draws a bright line toward Ko Tapu — the needle-rock made famous in The Man with the Golden Gun.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply and reapply frequently; the tropical sun plus reflective water doubles UV exposure and coral protection is mandatory in some areas.
Prepare for seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication before departure — the speedboat and choppy channels can be rough.
Carry small cash
Local vendors on Koh Panyee and small souvenir stalls accept cash only; bring Thai baht for snacks and tips.
Use water shoes for caves and beaches
Many islands have rocky entry points and slippery boardwalks; water shoes protect feet and improve footing.
