Maya Bay, nestled on Thailand’s Phi Phi Leh Island, is famed for its surreal beauty—towering limestone cliffs, powdery white sands, and turquoise waters. An adventure into Maya Bay is more than just a beach visit; it’s a blend of awe and adrenaline.
Typically, the adventure begins with a boat ride, often from Phi Phi Don or even Phuket or Krabi. Longtail boats or speedboats slice through the Andaman Sea, with ocean spray and tropical breezes heightening the sense of anticipation. As you approach, the cliffs form a dramatic embrace around the bay—making it feel like a hidden world.

Shot in 2014 on a Nikon D800 on f8 and 1/200 with pro quality 16-35mm lens, but something went wrong as the top corners are out of focus, whereas the center with the boat in the distance is sharp. it might have been an AF/lens failure (as it did completely fail less than a year later when travelling in Myanmar) or perhaps movement from the boat or just my focus error somehow. Anyhow, the shot is still pretty good and the memory priceless. How do you think?

The Phi Phi Islands (Thai: หมู่เกาะพีพี) are located in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the western Andaman Sea coast of the mainland. Phi Phi Don, the larger and principal of the two Phi Phi islands, is located at [show location on an interactive map] 7°44′00″N, 98°46′00″E. Both Phi Phi Don, and Phi Phi Leh, the smaller, are administratively part of Krabi province, most of which is on the mainland, and is located at [show location on an interactive map] 8°02′30″N, 98°48′39″E.
Ko Phi Phi Don ("ko" (Thai: เกาะ) meaning "island" in the Thai language) is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants, although the beaches of the second largest island, Ko Phi Phi Lee (or "Ko Phi Phi Leh"), are visited by many people as well. There are no accommodation facilities on this island, but it is just a short boat ride from Ko Phi Phi Don. The rest of the islands in the group, including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea.
Phi Phi Don was initially populated by Muslim fishermen during the late 1940s, and later became a coconut plantation. The Thai population of Phi Phi Don remains more than 80% Muslim.But the actual population if counting laborers, especially from the north-east, from the mainland is much more Buddhist these days.
Ko Phi Phi Leh was the backdrop for the 2000 movie The Beach. Phi Phi Leh also houses the 'Viking Cave', from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry. There was criticism during filming of 'The Beach' that the permission granted to the film company to physically alter the environment inside Phi Phi Islands National Park was illegal. [1] The controversy cooled down however, when it was discovered that the producers had done such a decent job of restoring the place that it finally looked better than it had done before.
Following the release of The Beach, tourism on Phi Phi Don increased dramatically, and with it the population of the island. Many buildings were constructed without planning permission.[citation needed]
Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was wiped out. Redevelopment has, however, been swift, and services like electricity, water, Internet access and ATMs are up and running again, but waste handling has been slower to come back online.
