A low sun glances off limestone towers as the speedboat cuts a wake through Phang Nga Bay—mangrove-shadowed coves to your left, expanses of glassy water to your right. Within an hour the karst islands rise like weathered spires; you step from boat to kayak and let the tide decide the line through a narrow cave mouth, bats skittering in the half-light.
