Maya Bay in Thailand

Maya Bay, Thailand. Made famous by the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio. It was breathtakingly beautiful in person! The local government doesn't allow tourists to swim in this beach anymore to help preserve it. Maya Bay was closed from 2018 to 2022 to help the beach ecosystem recover from the damage caught by tourism. It has recently reopened so visitors have to follow the rules to protect the marine life. Maya Bay can only be visited from 10:00 to 16:00, and visitors must adhere to the one-hour time limit. #bangkoktrip
