Thailand
Phuket
The Andaman Sea and the karsts of Phang Nga Bay.
Thailand's Andaman gateway, limestone islands, longtail boats, and beaches that defined the tropics.
Phuket is the way into the Andaman Sea, one of the most beautiful stretches of water in Asia. Longtail boats run out to the sheer limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay and the beaches of the Phi Phi islands, while the old Sino-Portuguese town and the Big Buddha give the day a cultural counterweight. The water is warm, clear, and impossibly green against the cliffs.
