Andaman Sea archipelago between Phuket and Krabi — six islands famous for limestone karst geography and the Maya Bay (which gained global fame from the 2000 film "The Beach"). Phi Phi Don (the only inhabited island) and Tonsai Bay are where all accommodation clusters; Phi Phi Leh is day-trip-only. Same Thailand visa story (DTV launched 2024). The structural draws are world-class limestone-island geography and diving from the beach. The structural friction is extreme tourist saturation (Maya Bay closed for ecological recovery 2018-2022; reopened with strict caps) and an absence of working/long-stay infrastructure — internet is limited, this is a beach-bar economy.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
