The speedboat cuts a clean line across the Andaman Sea, spray tasting of salt and limestone as Phuket slips astern. Within an hour the horizon rearranges into towering karst islands: Maya Bay’s cliffs rise like walls around impossible turquoise water, Pileh Cove holds a green, glassy lagoon, and Bamboo Island offers a stretch of sand that seems to push the sea back.
