In Phang Nga Bay, limestone pinnacles rise by the hundred from green water, gnawed at the base and capped with jungle; among them, Koh Panyi keeps its stilt houses and its mosque. In Phuket, the old town has kept the Sino-Portuguese shophouses that tin paid for, all arcades and pastel stucco. Out in the bay, on Koh Yao Noi, the rubber trees are tapped before dawn by head torch, and the latex is gathered as the heat rises.
