Azure waters sparkle across Phulay Bay, the wake of the longtail boat splashing across a fantasy landscape of limestone formations, cliffs formed of once extensive coral reefs cataclysmically thrust upward by seismic continent movements and eroded into magical pillars crowned with lush greenery. These limestone pillars are known geologically as karst, and the fantastic rock caves, hong, resulting from the same acidic water forces of erosion, entice kayak explorers from around the world. Together with pristine beaches and a claim on stunning tropical forests, sea and sun, these are southern Thailand’s gift to tourists.
