The ferry slips away from Rassada Port and the island fades into a wash of green and limestone cliffs; the Andaman Sea opens ahead, cool wind pushing against the hull. From the cabin or the aft deck, the route to Ton Sai Pier on Koh Phi Phi Don is a compact passage through turquoise water and occasional rocky outcrops that rise like islands of time.
