More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the pier and feel the engine's hush shiver through the hull as the speedboat slices away from Phuket toward a chain of limestone spires rising from the Andaman Sea. Salt and sun mix on the breeze; cliffs throw cool shadows over emerald water. By midmorning the boat threads narrow channels, and the first turquoise bowls—Pileh Lagoon and the carved-in coves of Phi Phi Leh—appear like secret rooms in the ocean's architecture.
