You push off from Nopparat Thara Pier before the sun has fully climbed, the speedboat cutting a clean line through glassy water as gulls wheel overhead. The limestone towers of Phi Phi appear like vertical cliffs of time, their karst faces catching the first light while the crew prepares snorkeling gear and a light breakfast box.
