The morning opens on a low, salt-creased horizon as a private speedboat slips away from Krabi’s mangrove-edged piers, pushed forward by an engine’s steady insistence. Limestone cliffs appear first as dark ribs, then resolve into the squat, steep-sided arms of Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Lee; water slides between them in colors so bright they seem engineered to stop you.
