A speedboat cuts a silver line through Andaman blue and you feel the islands draw nearer: Koh Racha Yai’s low, rounded profile gives way to the bright curve of Banana Beach on Koh Hey. Land on fine white sand, move past palms and a palm‑leaf roof restaurant where the day’s lunch waits, then slide into warm water fringed with coral heads.
