The day begins before dawn on Phuket’s pier, when the speedboat slices through glassy water and the islands of Phi Phi appear like dark shapes outlined against a waking sky. Sea spray dares the early light, and the engine’s rhythm pushes the hull toward Maya Bay, Viking Cave and the sheltered coves of Phi Phi Leh and Don.
