Maya Bay Closed until Further Notice

 

The Government had announced that the planned closeure of Maya Bay on the Phi Phi Islands has been extended. The Bay will not reopen until the area has had a chance to recover.. The original date for reopening was set at October the 1st. The extra time is intended to give the local ecosystem, that for years has been overwhelmed by visiting tourists, to have extra time to recover. We are still waiting to hear how the access to Maya Bay will have changed when it does reopen. As soon as we hear anything we will update.

There has also been news that National Park entrance tickets will in furture need to be bought in advance, no details have yet been released.
