1. Donald Duck Bay

    Guarded by seasonal closures and accessible only by boat, this cove in Similan Islands National Park presents granite monoliths rising from turquoise shallows, their smooth forms worn into something almost sculptural. The fine sand and crystalline water reward those patient enough to time their visit between November and May, when the monsoon lifts and the shore recovers its solitude.
