A morning on the water breaks open at Nopparat Thara Pier: the engine's thrum, a spray of salt, and limestone cliffs slipping behind as a speedboat cuts toward turquoise. Bamboo Island's crescent of white sand arrives like a bright palm on the horizon; the shallow reef lets you wade far out while small fish inspect your ankles.
