The morning road out of Phuket Town climbs through green hills and opens onto a coastal stage: turquoise Andaman Sea, ragged headlands, and beaches that push and pull at the horizon. Your private car threads past rubber plantations and roadside shrines, pausing at wind-swept viewpoints where sea eagles wheel and long-tail boats dot the water like punctuation.
