You push off from the riverbank and the raft answers with a slow, buoyant surrender. Palm fronds whisper overhead, and the guide’s bamboo pole taps a steady rhythm against the limestone bed below. The river snakes through glossy green — a quiet corridor where the world narrows to water, sky and the soft creak of bamboo.
