More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day starts before dawn on Phuket’s east coast as the speedboat cuts the Andaman Sea and the horizon lightens. Limestone cliffs of Ko Phi Phi Leh appear like grey-green walls rising from vivid water, and the boat hum pulls you toward pockets of turquoise: Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah and the tiny Khai islands. The sea dares you to slip over the rail and meet the reef.

Protect the reef
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching or standing on coral—feeding fish is prohibited and damages ecosystems.
Bring your own mask
Masks fit differently; bringing a personal snorkel set improves comfort and visibility in choppy conditions.
Prepare for boat motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit forward where motion is milder.
Timing for photos
