The afternoon sun slices the Andaman horizon as a sleek speedboat cuts through glassy water, pushing spray that smells faintly of salt and limestone. By late afternoon you’re threading between sculpted karst towers and small islands—each rock face laced with stalactites, each beach an invitation to step off the boat and into warm, shallow water.
