Phi Phi Ley: Maya Bay

Maya Bay was definitely one of the top places I had to visit while in Thailand. Its also my favorite of the Phi Phi Islands we went to see. Most notable for its location from the epic film, 'The Beach', flocks of tourists have since then came to visit this famous island...and, we were coming to join them!

Flocks of tourists

Too gorgeous for words

How our driver backed into this tiny space is beyond me

We still can't believe we're in Thailand!

Longtail boats at Maya Bay

As soon as we got off the boat, H and I trekked further inland to find the restroom.

Beautiful photo spot

Life is grand

The erosion and overhangs leave this rock astounding

After relaxing and hanging out at Maya Bay, we boarded our speedboat again to deeper water so we could take advantage of the snorkeling Maya Bay had to offer. We took some bread with us and watched as the fish started swimming our way.

Searching for the perfect snorkeling spot. (On the left: The lady hiding behind the red towel earlier)

As soon as we hit the water with bread, the fish started to swim over to us

A whole school of them

H: more of these damn striped zebra fish! We saw like a million of these!

After snorkeling, we headed back on the boat to leave Maya Bay. Next stop: Viking Cave!

I once read somewhere that when you go to Thailand, you can't wait to leave it... ...but you also can't wait to go back. That much we agree with. Here is our story, we hope you enjoy reading as much as we've enjoyed experiencing it!
