Morning light spills across rural roads as an air‑conditioned van pulls out of Phuket and into Phang Nga’s patchwork of rice paddies and karst ridges. By mid‑morning you step onto a handmade bamboo raft and the river accepts you—slow, clear, and framed by a green wall of dipterocarp and climbing vines. The bamboo beneath your feet creaks like a small boat breathing; the current merely nudges you forward.
