According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, Maya Beach and Loh Samah Bay will be closed from 1 August to 30 September. You will be taken to an alternative spot during the mentioned period.
Maya Bay is situated on Koh Phi Phi Leh, one of Thailand's Phi Phi Islands in the Andaman Sea. It's located southeast of Phuket and is typically accessed via speedboat from various piers in Phuket, with travel time usually ranging from 45 minutes to an hour by sea.
Maya Bay gained international fame as the filming location for the movie "The Beach." Its stunning natural beauty, characterized by towering limestone cliffs, pristine white sand, and crystal-clear emerald waters, makes it an iconic tropical paradise that draws visitors worldwide.
To protect its fragile marine ecosystem, direct swimming in Maya Bay is currently prohibited. Visitors can admire the bay from designated areas on the beach, wade in the shallow waters near the shore, and enjoy the scenery. Snorkeling activities are typically conducted in nearby, less sensitive areas.
Maya Bay was temporarily closed for several years to allow its coral reefs and marine life to recover from overtourism. Conservation efforts include strict limits on daily visitor numbers, prohibition of direct swimming, and requiring boats to dock at a rear pier rather than entering the bay itself.
Speedboat tours from Phuket are the most common and efficient way to visit Maya Bay, Mai Thon Island, Phi Phi Islands, and Khai Islands. Tours usually depart from well-known Phuket piers, providing swift transportation between islands and often include convenient hotel transfers and guided exploration.
Mai Thon Island is renowned for its vibrant underwater world, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling. Visitors can explore colorful marine life and diverse coral reefs in its exceptionally clear waters, offering a memorable experience for those keen to observe oceanic ecosystems.
Pileh Lagoon offers stunning emerald-green waters surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, creating a natural swimming pool. Travelers can enjoy swimming and snorkeling in its calm, sheltered waters. It's a picturesque and serene location perfect for relaxation and enjoying the breathtaking natural scenery.
At Viking Cave, visitors typically view the impressive cave paintings, often depicting ancient boats, from the boat without entering directly. Monkey Beach, as its name suggests, is home to a colony of monkeys, offering a unique chance to observe them from a safe distance, usually from the boat or a brief stop on the beach.
