A sun-splashed longtail slips away from Kasom Pier, the engine’s cough blending with gull calls as limestone karsts loom like vertical islands. Green water pushes at the hull and the guide points: Koh Tapu — Spike Island — jutting up with a lean that made it a movie star. You step ashore amid souvenir stalls, then reboard for silent sea canoeing through low caves where the tide and mangrove roots sculpt narrow passages.
