The longtail boat rests on the golden sandy beach of Koh Ngai Island while the waves of the Andaman Sea roll relentlessly ashore. The wind has stirred up the sea, small whitecaps dance on the surface and break gently on the shore. The sky above is deep blue, streaked with white clouds that the wind drives towards the island.
In the warm air lies the gentle sound of the surf, accompanied by the occasional creaking of the wooden boat as it rocks gently in the shallow water. Its long prow rises proudly into the sky, colourfully decorated with strips of fabric that flutter in the wind. It looks as if it is waiting for its next departure - out to sea, to where the horizon meets the water.
Green palm trees and tropical vegetation rise up behind the beach, completing the picture of an unspoilt paradise. Time seems to flow more slowly here, carried by the harmony of wind, waves and sun. Koh Ngai is a place where nature is in charge - and where the longtail boat waits patiently until it is allowed to glide over the foaming waves again.
