Maya Bay

We again woke up early to beat the crowds - this time for Maya Bay, on the Phi Phi Leh Island. The reputation of this beach precedes it - it was the location of Leonardo DiCaprio’s film “The Beach” and since then, has been consistently ranked among the top three beaches in the world, and in some years, it has topped the list. The beach certainly exceeded our expectations. It is extremely gorgeous, with silky white sand and is surrounded by huge limestone caves on each side. We spent some time here - saw baby sharks and mountain crabs, and then moved on to other attractions of the island - Pi Leh Lagoon and snorkelling in the Viking cave. On our way back to our hotel, we saw the Monkey Beach. All in all, a morning well spent!Read more
