As a marine biologist, the ocean has always been my sanctuary, and the promise of a speed boat adventure from Koh Lipe to Koh Mook was too enticing to resist. The high season had brought with it a gentle breeze, perfect for a day on the water.

Schools of fish darted in synchronized harmony, their scales catching the sunlight in a dazzling display. It was a reminder of the delicate ecosystems that I have dedicated my career to studying and protecting.

The camaraderie among the passengers was infectious. We shared stories, laughter, and the collective awe of the natural beauty surrounding us. It was a reminder that travel is not just about the places you visit, but the connections you make along the way.
