Wind strips the salt off your skin as the speedboat carves away from Tonsai Pier and the limestone cliffs of Phi Phi Don recede into a wall of green sea. The day knits together quick splashes — Pileh Lagoon’s emerald bowl, Maya Bay’s crescent sand, the shallow reefs at Loh Samah and the white sting of Bamboo Island — each stop a different pulse of the archipelago.
