TRANSCRIPT

The tall ship Star Clipper tours the Surin islands. With topsails, staysails, jibs and spanker all unfurled, the vessel can make 17 knots.

Capt. Sergey Tunikov (far left, hand on hip), his crew and the passengers share the work — and fun — of sailing a big ship. Opposite: Longtail boats are the workhorses of the region.

Cruise director Peter Kissner (right) guides guests through the Andaman’s caves, cultures and beaches. Opposite: A nest-gatherer’s camp clings to cliffs on Phang Nga Bay.

A girl plays tradi-tional caklempong music. Opposite: The tortuous waterways of Phang Nga are a good place to hide, unless you’re a 360-foot clipper ship.

Clockwise from far right: The Star

Clipper crew waves from the bowsprit;

a Moken totem sur-veys Ko Surin Nua; a longtail tour boat cruises Phang Nga

Bay. Opposite: Ko Panyi village sur-

rounds a mountain of limestone.
