Morning light slides across the Gulf of Thailand as the skiff cuts out of An Thoi harbor, spray tasting of salt and lime. The first paddle feels easy—water pushing you forward—then the islands open: small crowns of green rising from glassy turquoise, powder sand folding into shallow reefs. You land on Hon Kim Quy to stretch legs across quiet shorelines, then slip into masks to watch parrotfish and branching corals tilt in the currents.
