The morning wakes slow in Ao Nang but quickly sharpens once the speedboat picks up pace and the Andaman Sea begins to open. Limestone cliffs tilt out of the water like carved monuments and the boat’s wake stitches turquoise into emerald as you head for Lao Lading’s calm bay. Salt spray, sun on your shoulders and the distinct quiet of an island lagoon set the tone for a day of short swims, easy hikes and reef watching.
