Krabi’s Maya Bay, on Koh Phi Phi Leh, has been closed for 2 months, to give the ecosystem time to recover before the return of the tourist high season. The Bangkok Post reports that the closure has been confirmed by Ratchanok Phaenoi, chief of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park.

 

The picturesque bay, arguably the most famous in Thailand thanks to the 2000 Leonard di Caprio movie, The Beach, will re-open on September 30.

 

Shaun Stenning from 5 Star Marine, one of the companies that runs tours from Phuket to Maya Bay, says the bay needs an annual break.

Did n't this place just get a 3 year break from tourism during Covid but it's already been spoiled again.

 

Begs the question, should it not just remain closed or.....too much money to be raped out of it?
