The day begins before sunrise in Phuket’s hotel lobby, a blur of bright life jackets and steaming coffee as a luxury speedboat cuts through the Andaman Sea. Salt sprays, limestone cliffs loom like vertical maps, and the engine’s thrum sets a steady pace toward Maya Bay and Phi Phi’s turquoise coves.
