The engine hum drops to a steady heartbeat as the speedboat slices through the Andaman Sea and the first limestone cliffs of Phi Phi rise from the horizon. Salt spray cools your face; below, the water flashes jade and turquoise. You land at Maya Bay’s white sand, drift in the tranquil Pileh Lagoon, and thread between cliffs where sunlight pinballs off the surface.
