A longtail boat rests in the shallow, mint-green water as if it had forgotten to breathe for a moment. The sea is still, but darkness is gathering in the distance - a gathering storm that seems to hang over the Andaman Sea like a mighty curtain. There is a tension over Koh Ngai that is more than just weather; it is a whisper of nature, a pause before the next breath.
The boat, called Ruea Hang Yao, seems like a living being, ready to tell stories of stormy nights and sun-drenched mornings. Its colours - yellow, red, brown - glow against the threatening blue of the sky, as if to defiantly smile at the storm. The small island in the background rises out of the sea like a silent sentinel, half swallowed up by mist and shadows.
Here, on the coast of Satun province in southern Thailand, time only gently touches the moment. The world seems to fall silent for seconds while light and shadow engage in a dialogue. And the boat waits - serene, familiar with the whims of the sea. It knows the melody of the wind, the stories of the waves and the magic of those moments when calm and storm meet.
