[webfact]

 

Famous Maya Bay will be open to members of the public from New Year’s Day, but visitors will have to apply in advance and the number is capped at 4,125 per day. Furthermore, the visits are for just one hour with no swimming at all.

 

About 80 representatives of tour operators and guides from Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket and Phang-nga provinces were given a guided tour of the bay on Wednesday, to be informed of the rules and guidelines with which visitors will have to comply, or face fines.

 

According to Pramote Kaewnam, chief of the Noppharat Thara-Mu Koh Phi-Phi national park in Ao Nang sub-district in Muang district of Krabi province, the tour and guide representatives were satisfied with the improved environment and natural atmosphere of bay, after more than three years of closure for rehabilitation.
