Maya Bay
Paradise is not lost -- Maya Bay of the Phi Phi Islands has resurrected from the loss and devastation suffered from the 2004 tsunami, and it is as magnificent as ever. Maya Bay is stunning and luxurious with panoramic views of the Andaman Sea. Maya Bay is best known for a number of movies filmed there, including "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Maya Bay in the Phi Phi Islands is shallow with crystal clear water and splendid coral formations. Both novice and experienced divers are drawn to Maya Bay, because of its abundant rock formation that drops to a depth of 18 meters; and just outside the bay - the 30 meter wall dive with caves, valleys and swim-throughs made by underwater rock formations. Snorkeling is also popular in Maya Bay. The visibility is unlimited in gentle waters, and the experience is nothing short of magnificent. It is said that Maya Bay has the most stunning beach in Phi Phi, and embraces luxury with the fragrance of orange jasmines lacing the wealthy rural Maya Bay Thai village nestled in the bay.
The Phi Phi Islands
Phi Phi Don is the main island and is shaped like a dumb bell. Phi Phi Li is the smaller island and is uninhabited with the exception of the Viking Cave bird's nest company that has guards stationed on the island to protect the cave. Local residents of the Phi Phi Islands collect swift's nests at the cave to make Bird's Nest Soup. The company owns the rights to the cave and tourists must ask permission to enter.
The two islands of Phi Phi can be reached by boat. The Phi Phi Islands consists of steep limestone cliffs that rise vertically from the sea, and hidden bays hold the glorious beaches that border calm clear waters.
