The catamaran slips away from Chalong Pier with the island wind pushing you into the Andaman’s open blue. Salt sprays the deck and the shoreline of Phuket thins to a low line of palms while Coral Island’s white sand waits like a bright pause — a place to breathe, snorkel, or take a short kayak into sheltered coves.
