More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the dock as the engine coughs awake and the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay rise like sculpted towers from the sea, their cliff faces daring the horizon. Salt and warm sun press on your skin while the speedboat threads between emerald walls and open water, each cut revealing pockets of white sand and mangrove mouths.
