More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sky is still ink when you slip onto a speedboat at Ao Nang pier; a ribbon of pale light promises the Phi Phi horizon. Waves push and pull beneath the hull as limestone cliffs loom larger, their faces dropping into water that glows more turquoise with each minute. By the time the sun tips over the horizon, Poda’s sand is cool beneath your feet and the islands are largely yours to explore.
