More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a low-slung speedboat as dawn softens over Phuket, salt spray stinging the air and limestone cliffs of Phi Phi looming like weathered ramparts ahead. The engine hums and the Andaman Sea pulls you forward—short bursts of spray, long stretches of glassy water—and by mid-morning the pale curve of Maya Bay appears: a crescent of sand framed by sheer cliffs that seem to hold the sea in a bowl.
