The wake snaps behind the speedboat and salt spray threads through the air as limestone cliffs of Phi Phi Ley silhouette against the sky. You pull your sunglasses down and watch Maya Bay emerge — a bowl of white sand hugged by 100-metre cliffs, reefs flashing beneath the surface like shards of blue glass.
