Visiting Maya Bay after 3 years of closure, the photos are extremely beautiful without editing-Travel

Maya Bay is like a jewel located in the middle of the sea, possessing long white sand beaches and impressive coral reefs.

Located near the coast of Phuket, in the South of Thailand, Maya Bay is famous for its beautiful scenery like paradise on earth. This bay, which had to be closed since 2018 to preserve nature, has now reopened with a pristine look that is rarely found anywhere else.

Maya flying in the distance and Pi Leh Lagoon lying side by side make for the perfect heartwarming couple.

Travel blogger Ngo Tran Hai An (Cu Coc Tu) has been present at Maya, Koh Phi Phi since the early days of May, bringing the best images of this bay through a flycam perspective. The clear blue water, blending with the green cliffs, smooth white sand beach, is the product of nature without the need to intervene in photo editing.

Hai An said: “Maya Bay is a nature reserve with strict policies, so it is very difficult to get a license to fly here. But with the support of the General Department travel to ThailandI got my permit the night before boarding the boat to the bay.”

He added that Maya Bay is a short stretch of coral sand, ranging from 300 meters to 400 meters, located between huge cliffs hundreds of meters high with picturesque tropical vegetation. The sea water here has an extremely unique emerald green color with different density.

At the bottom of the bay there is a coral reef, so the sand on the beach is very smooth, soft and light. Previously, this bay was almost unknown because it was located on an uninhabited island, then the movie “The Beach” was filmed at Maya Bay with the participation of Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, making this place. emerged and attracted a large number of tourists.

Due to overexploitation, the Thai government had to close it down to restore and preserve nature. Previously, visitors were allowed to swim in the bay, but now, under the new law, swimming is completely prohibited, and boats are not allowed to run in to preserve the beautiful landscape here.

In the coral reef area, visitors can enjoy scuba diving.
