The catamaran cuts through the Andaman blue as Phuket slips astern, sunlight striking the hull and the sea air sharpening every scent — salt, diesel, and the green smoke of distant shorelines. By mid-morning the limestone cliffs of Phi Phi rise like weathered walls, and Khai Nok's white sand waits with a palm-fringed ease that invites a barefoot pause.
