The morning salt air follows the road as the bus peels away from hotel strips, the Andaman visible in flashes between casuarina and coconut palms. You climb short coastal rises and stop at viewpoints where the sea spreads blue and impatient, daring you to remember it later. The tour threads Patong, Karon and Kata before pausing at the Three Beaches viewpoint — a compact promontory that gives a clear sweep of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon bays.
