Morning light fractures across the Andaman as a longtail boat slips between vertical limestone towers — karst spires that rise like old watchmen from the green water. The engine hums, the spray cools your face, and Ko Tapu (James Bond Island) resolves into view: a narrow rock stack that has become an icon of Phang Nga Bay.
