Maya Bay

Maya Bay is a very beautiful and amazing bay on the famous island of Koh Phi Phi in Thailand, which is part of the Koh Phi Phi archipelago and consists of six large and pristine islands. In the meantime, we can safely say that this area of ​​the country is a real paradise on earth that has not yet been touched by man and has remained completely untouched, and because of all this beauty, it has attracted a large number of tourists every year. It is interesting to know that Maya Bay is surrounded on three sides by three cliffs 100 meters high, and inside the bay there are several hidden beaches, most of which are small and some of these beaches are visible when the tide is out. The main beach is about 200 meters long and is covered with soft white sand.
