The bow slaps warm Andaman water as the speedboat slips past limestone cliffs that seem to rise like ancient walls from the sea. Salt and motor oil mix with the bright citrus of sliced fruit on the lunch table; tourists lean over the rail to spot turquoise pockets of reef below. By mid-morning the boat drops anchor in Pileh Lagoon and the water hushes—calm enough to float and feel the rock faces press inward, the light turning the bay a hard, tropical green.
