I slept on a small boat overnight so I could awake to a peaceful Maya Bay — void of tourists. It was beautiful to welcome the sunrise and be pretty much the only one before the swarms showed up. I then made my way to the other side of Maya Bay which was equally peaceful, arriving before the tour boats arrived. I used a drone to capture the aerial shots.

Very beautiful spot with bright aqua coloured water and limestone cliffs. Where they filmed The Beach. Currently can't land, to allow the local environment to recover from mass tourism.

Visiting the island where the movie “The Beach” was filmed was amazing! The beach was closed and will be closed for a few years due to pollution from tourists which is understandable because a lot of places I’ve visited were dirty and overcrowded with messy and noisy people who don’t respect the place they’re visiting. If you come here you will get a good view of the beach, you can swim in the crystal clear water and watch the most beautiful fish swim around you!

(Translated by Google) Wonderfully beautiful, it is really important to protect that from too much tourism (Original) Wunderbar wunderschön es ist wirklich wichtig das vor zuviel Tourismus zu bewahren

Amazing place, water is crystal clean with shade of emerald 😍 taxi boats are the best way to see Maya Bay, as you have time to see beach, national park on the island inland, lagoon and surroundings with usually extremely nice local private "tour guide". Beach itself is really crowded, but if you will go early in the morning there is a chance to catch a photo with just few people on it. It reminds of a paradise on earth and it truly is

(Translated by Google) A gorgeous bay with cliffs covered in greenery for swimming and boating, located on Krabi Island, Thailand. (Original) خليج رائع يتمتع بوجود كتل صخرية مغطاة بطبقة خضراء ويصلح للسباحة والتنزه بالقوارب، يقع في جزيرة كرابي، تايلاند.

It was one of the most amazing places I have ever visited, the water was clear and everything seemed to be magical, the only problems was that it was crowded and there was a lot of boat but that was during the high tourist season

Nice beach

Extremely busy lots of boats = lots of people We snorkelled around the bay and we saw sea snakes, coral sharks and plenty of fish. I image the beach itself could be nice but with so many people and boats it was hard to see past it all.

Really happy they closed it! It is so beautiful now when compared to back then! Visited yesterday, see pic vs. 1.5 years ago..

Leonardo DiCaprio killed a baby shark here in "The Beach". I was much more careful. Bucket list spot for anyone traveling to Thailand.

(Translated by Google) It was really nice because the tour was great because the tour man told me not to take a snorkel and just swim. But if the person who snorkeled and dive came here, It's good to choose Phi Phi Island as the first activity in Krabi, Thailand. (Original) 투어아저씨가 스노쿨가져가지 말고 수영만 하라고 해서 말그대로 수영만 했는데도 장소가 좋아서 그런지 기분 정말 좋았네요 근데 스노쿨하고 다이브하고 했던 사람이 여기를 왔다면 재미 없다고 느낄수도 있을것 같아요 태국 끄라비 거의 첫번째 액티비티로 피피섬을 선택하면 좋을것 같네요

(Translated by Google) Great, but unfortunately too many people! (Original) Top, aber leider viel zu viele Leute!!

One of the most beautiful place on earth, sadly it get destroyed by us tourists..

Maya Bay is temporarily closed for the time being. Thailand tourist authority has closed this island to recover the coral and the environment of this island. High tourist pick has caused huge damage. No one is allowed to land on the island. During island hopping boats come to this island and tourists stays on the boat. Some get into the water behind the safety line. It’s really a beautiful small island surrounded by mountain.

(Translated by Google) When We were here, the beach was unfortunately closed, but the sight of the water made up for everything ... One of the most beautiful beaches in the world 😍 (Original) Mikor Mi jártunk itt sajnos le volt zárva a part, de a víz látványa mindenért kárpótolt ... A világ egyik legszebb partszakasza 😍

Maya Bay is a closed bay on the west bank of Phi Phi Leh. The reason for the closure is to rebuild the coral reef. How many years will it take? Hundreds?

The beach is not open yet. But you can snorkeling around. Lot of colorful fish.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful beaches that we have been lucky enough to visit .. leaving in long tail from Krabi ... We arrive at the entrance and discover the beauty that nature has had the patience to create ... You hit the arrival of excess tourists and the noise of traditional boats, and boats that arrive crowded with noisy tourists from Phuquet ... And the destruction of corals with anchors ... The authorities must act urgently ... We hope that a of the few things to thank Fr. Covid19 is the rest and regeneration of over-exploited natural spaces. (Original) Una de las playas más bonitas que hemos tenido la suerte de visitar.. saliendo en long tail desde Krabi... Llegamos a la entrada y descubres la belleza que la naturaleza ha tenido la paciencia de crear... Pegas la llegada de exceso de turistas y el ruido de las barcas tradicionales, y de las embarcaciones que llegan abarrotadas de ruidosos turistas desde phuquet... Y la destrucción de los corales con las anclas.... Las autoridades deben de actuar con urgencia... Esperamos que una de las pocas cosas de agradecer al p. Covid19 sea el descanso y regeneración de los espacios naturales sobre explotados.

(Translated by Google) Maya Bay has been closed from ships to conserve and restore for many years. Which is very good Boats can be moored outside, unable to enter the beach of Maya Bay. But still very beautiful So people can't go down and take a walk on the beach right now. Is having a project to build a port from the other side (Original) อ่าวมาหยาปิดไม่ให้เรือเข้าไปเพื่ออนุรักษ์ฟื้นฟูเป็นเวลาหลายปีแล้ว ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องที่ดีมากๆ เรือต่างๆสามารถจอดได้บริเวณด้านนอกไม่สามารถเข้าไปในหาดของอ่าวมาหยาได้ แต่ก็ยังสวยมากๆอยู่ดี คนจึงไม่สามารถลงไปเดินเล่นที่หาดได้ในตอนนี้ กำลังมีโครงการสร้างท่าจากอีกด้านนึง

(Translated by Google) It is still closed and now very few tourists have no boats. (Original) ตอนนี้ยังคงปิดอยู่ และ ยิ่งตอนนี้นักท่องเที่ยวน้อยมาก ไม่มีเรือเลย

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful but too many tourists want to limit the number of tourists per day (Original) สวยมาก​ แต่นักท่องเที่ยวเยอะเกินไปอยากให้จำกัดจำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวต่อวัน

very beautiful place middle of ocean, surrounded by small mountains/big rocks, hidden place, great great view clear water, but boats must have to be moved from front of the beach so people can enjoy the view because boats really block most of the view, try to go early in morning because this small beach gets too much crowded, but if u can swim u can sea a small beach on the right side and its not far if water is shallow, on the other hand great place to be visit!!!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful (Original) めっちゃキレイ‼

(Translated by Google) I went there with my girlfriend, a lovely place. The boat tour, including a tour guide, lunch on the island (they do only Muslim cuisine, delicious everything), time to snorkel (equipment provided on board), is absolutely worth visiting. If you are in Kata / Karon / Paton beach in Phuket, there are free shuttles that take you to the beach from where boat tours to Maya and monkey island depart. (Original) Ci sono stato con la mia ragazza, un posto incantevole. Da visitare assolutamente, molto conveniente il tour con barca, compreso di guida turistica, pranzo sull’isola (fanno solo cucina musulmana, squisito tutto) , tempo per fare snorkeling (attrezzatura fornita a bordo). Se vi trovate a Kata/ Karon/Paton beach a Phuket, esistono navette gratuite che vi portano alla spiaggia da cui partono i giri in barca verso Maya e monkey island.

Very nice beach. And also a very beautiful nature. Blue sea and white sand. Only to crowded. To much people 😊🙄🤣

(Translated by Google) Very nice place and lucky with the weather. It's a pity they give little time and a lot of people. There is an option to visit yourself by renting a tray on a neighboring inhabited island. (Original) Очень красиво место и с погодой повезло . Жаль времени мало дают и людей много . Есть вариант посетить самостоятельно арендовать лотку на соседнем обитаемом острове.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular but always crowded (Original) Espectacular pero siempre abarrotada

(Translated by Google) Maya bay is a beach located in the bay of phi phi leh island, the beach is very well maintained and clean, the water is very clear, here it is very crowded with tourists who come. Grateful when you come here Maya bay is still open, then after coming home a few days after it closes until 2021 the info. If visiting Phuket or Krabi don't miss here. Maya Bay is famous since the movie The Beach, starring Leonardo de Caprio. But the beach is really top. Like in Raja Ampat in Indonesia. The Thai government really pays attention to and takes care of the tourist places / destinations👍👍👍 (Original) Maya bay merupakan pantai yang terletak di teluk pulau phi phi leh, pantainya sangat terawat dan bersih, airnya sangat jernih, disini sangat ramai dengan turis yang datang. Bersyukur ketika kesini maya bay masih buka, kemudian setelah pulang beberala hari setelah ya tutup hingga 2021 infonya. Jika berkunjung ke phuket atau krabi jangan lewatkan kesini. Maya bay terkenal semenjak film the beach yang di bintangi leonardo de caprio. Tapi emang top banget pantainya. Kayak di raja ampat di indonesia. Pemerintah thailand emang sangat memperhatikan dan merawat tempat/destinasi2 wisatanya👍👍👍

Great place with unique view

Lovely place, clean water!

(Translated by Google) An unusual place, but it's a pity that it was closed. But you can go snorkeling next to the boat and see the local underwater beauty (Original) Необычное место, но жалко что закрыли. Зато можно рядом с лодки заняться снорклингом и посмотреть местные подводные красоты

Awesome place with the most amazing views. Crystal clear water and prestine white sandy beaches. I would recommend this place to everyone. The weather was fantastic.There are decent facilities on the island that is always kept clean and tidy. The water is a good temperature for a swim.

Reach there before 9 AM to avoid crowds

Beautiful islands, beaches and full of lovely colorful fishes. Swimming in the sea is amazing. You touch those fishes! Snorkeling and diving is available here. A place to visit that will call you back again and again.

Stunning beach with stunning view

Was looking great. But now restricted for visitors. So just had a look around

(Translated by Google) It seems hard to find a place like this as much as the view from the beach. But there are so many people~~ (Original) 해변에서 보는 뷰 만큼은 이만한 곳을 찾기 힘들듯. 다만 사람이 넘 많다는거~~

Beautiful but was closed when we visited in December 2019. Really pretty though, and good snorkeling spot, with really deep clear water.

It is closed by the government for recovery of coral reefs atleast till 2020 end. Even boats are not allowed inside the bay.

Beautiful, would be amazing to be able to go on the beach but it looks pristine.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, but very different from the movie The Beach, the movie changed many things and set the scene fictional. The beach is closed for coral restoration since there was predatory tourism and there is no forecast for reopening. (Original) Muito bonita, mas bem diferente do filme A Praia, o filme mudou muitas coisas e colocou cenario ficticio. A praia está fechada para restauracão de corais já que houve turismo predatorio e não há previsão de reabertura.

It was still closed when I was there, but I appreciate that they prioritize environmental efforts over money. I was still able to swim in the surrounding waters and it was beautiful

(Translated by Google) Excellent excursion, currently I can not go down to the beach because it is closed, since it is about preserving the coral damaged by the excursions, it is very beautiful with totally crystal clear water. I suggest snorkeling in Loh Sama Bay behind the beach. The water is even better and full of fish. (Original) Excelente excursión, actualmente no pode bajar a la playa porque está cerrada, ya que se trata de preservar el coral dañado por las excursiones, muy linda se ve con agua totalmente cristalina. Sugiero hacer snorkel en Loh Sama Bay detrás de la playa. El agua es aún mejor y lleno de peces.

Saw it from a distance! It is so beautiful! Unfortunately, it is still under recovery maintenance. Someday I shall revisit

(Translated by Google) The main sightseeing tour from famous scenic spots, Phuket. It's a popular tourist spot, so it's crowded. If you want to take a walk in the early morning when there are few people, we recommend staying at Phi Phi Don Island and chartering a boat. There are food and drink shops and toilets on the island. (Original) 有名景勝地、プーケットからの日帰り観光ツアーのメインです。人気観光名所なので人混みがすごいです、人が少ない時間帯早朝に散策したい場合はピピドン島に宿泊してボートをチャーターする事をお薦めします。島内に飲食物売店とトイレ在ります。

Crowded but an absolute must see if visiting Phi Phi islands. It is beautiful? ABSOLUTELY. If you are in the area, this is NOT TO BE MISSED.

Bevor der Film The Beach gedreht wurde, paradiesisch schön. Hinweis: meine Rezension bezieht sich auf meinen letzten Besuch: 2017.

Awesome spot in Phi Phi. Yes, location for DiCaprio movie named The Beach.

(Translated by Google) One of the best beaches I have seen in my life. We were when you could still visit this wonder. It is true that it was overflowing with people, but we really enjoyed it. It has fine, white sand like flour, warm waters and an amazing color. (Original) De las mejores playas que he visto en mi vida. Estuvimos cuando todavía se podía visitar esta maravilla. Es cierto que estaba a desbordar de gente, pero lo disfrutamos a lo grande. Tiene una arena fina y blanca como harina, aguas calentitas y de un color alucinante.
