The deck hums with the soft thud of engines as the junk boat eases away from Ao Nam Mao Pier. Salted wind pushes at your hair, and limestone cliffs along the Railey peninsula rise like weathered walls, casting long shadows over turquoise water. The sun leans west; every island ahead seems to hold a private hour.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen and apply at least 15 minutes before entering the water.

Island stops often require stepping into shallow water or climbing short sandy steps—wear water shoes for traction.
