The day begins at Nopparat Thara Pier with the engine's low thrum and salt-scented air; within minutes the Andaman Sea opens up, cliffs rising like folded pages of stone. The speedboat cuts a bright line across turquoise water, landing at Pileh Lagoon where limestone walls cradle a glassy pool and the sea seems to dare you to dive in.
