A dramatic karst landscape of 42 limestone islands rising vertically from the emerald Andaman Sea; the 20-metre tall Ko Ta Pu islet stands as a gravity-defying needle of weathered rock; navigate the hongs via kayak during the spring tide when the light reflects off the lime-encrusted cave ceilings; the water is a flat sheet of green silk; its silence broken only by the drip of prehistoric stalactites.
