Maya Bay
This Maya Bay Video takes you to one of Thailand’s most famous beaches. Located on Phi Phi Leh Island, Maya Bay became world-famous after appearing in The Beach movie. Surrounded by limestone cliffs and turquoise water, the bay is one of the most scenic spots in the country.
Maya Bay was closed for several years to allow its ecosystem to recover, but it has reopened with new rules to protect the environment. Boats can no longer enter the bay directly, and visitors must follow a set path to reach the beach. Swimming is restricted, but the view alone makes it worth the visit.
Most people visit Maya Bay as part of a boat tour from Phuket or Krabi, often combined with snorkelling stops around Phi Phi Islands. The best time to visit is early in the morning before the crowds arrive. Watch the video to see why Maya Bay remains one of Thailand’s most iconic destinations. Read about Maya Bay
