exactly, what do they expect that they are the only smart people who have figured out that Maya Bay is worth visiting??!!! and regardless it is as peaceful as you expect
eejit...lots of beach places that are as beautiful as this dont get this crowded. ao nang is obviously a mass tourism sort of place. they should limit the number of people going on the tours at any time. if other places are able to do that, so could they. it was just wild in the early morning on ao nang beach where the crowd of tourists waiting for tour boats is like you were at a taylor swift concert
You really to go early in the morning! There’ll be people but much less! I just spent the night aboard a boat in Maya Bay and was the first ones to arrive! Speechless! A truly nature gem in this World!
No spoilers guys..it's really beautiful..go and explore.. ignore the negativity.... Thailand is one of my best place till now.... outstanding natural view....
it's not as bad as the vid shows. the beach is quite big and ppl only overcrowded around the entrance area. everyone can get nice pics. maya bay is still a must visit
We appreciate your perspective! Maya Bay is indeed stunning, and we understand the sentiment. Striking a balance between capturing memories and fully enjoying the moment is crucial. In future videos, we'll aim to showcase both the beauty and the joy of the experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🏝️😊
I went there when I was little in february early in the morning, it was completely empty. Thailand is more touristed now than it was 15 years ago, which is insane and justified, so just don't come in the high season.
I went there with a tour group. I think you have to go there through a travel agency. You can take pictures and stand in the water but swimming is not allowed. The tour guides will let you stay on Maya bay for 1.5 hours for lunch and pictures. Then they take you to Phi Phi island for snorkeling. I suggest you take a speedboat to go to Phi Phi island yourself and if you want to go to Maya bay tour and other islands. You can book a separate trip. I was in Krabi and went to a 4-island tour. Maya bay was one of the stops. @@vanessan7889
Maya bay has actually now become a protected space due to the environmental damage caused by the large amounts of tourists!! People are still allowed to come, but it is limited on how many people can come and what times as to not disrupt the wildlife and not degrade the environment ❤
The reality is in which what you focus on. In this case the complainer sees all those people and lines while the gratitude person will see beaches and happiness. Same beach different perspectives from a negative and positive person
Absolutely! Traveling often pushes us out of our comfort zones, and the experiences, even the challenging ones, become part of the adventure. It's about embracing the unexpected. ✈️🌍
Try visit Palawan Philippines especially in Puerto Princesa City,, El Nido, and Coron Philippines. You won't regret coming. Sorry it's my hometown so I know how it is.
Sure no worries. Let me know if need help booking your travel there. I was a tourist guide there before migrating in the USA so I know people in high places hehe..
I went in 2013 and did the overnight camping in the bay…so nice since we were the only ones there after everybody left and had breakfast there before all the tourist boats started coming.
There is an agency that travels before everyone else and there are not many people at the beach at the same time. Just been here 3 days ago. I have not seen anything like this.
I love that the place the actual author was writing about is still largely unknown. He changed it to Thailand because he didn't want the islands (somewhere in the Philippines) that inspired him to get ruined by mass tourism. And he was right! Maya Bay had to be closed down due to the mass influx of tourists.
It’s beautiful but know you aren’t allowed to swim there: just up to knees in water to take a video/ picture. If you want to swim in the sea there are many other beautiful beaches in Thailand where you can do so
People are just dust in this paradise, go there and don't rush. All those people are rushing to take pictures because they have 1 or 2 hrs to go back to the boat. Go for minimum 4 hrs, find a peaceful corner and enjoy the scenery.
I didnt mind extra tourists. To enjoy the beauty of the place not necessarily you need it to be empty. You can still find your own spot. Even if you go early the beach has a restriction of 40-50 mins per entry so doesnt really matter. Moreover if you go when the suns shining, you get to see the actual colors of the place 😊
I saw a TikTok about beautiful places to see before they're ruined by overtourism. Maya Bay not on the list presumably becasue it's already so popular. Sadly places like Palawan, Philippines, Joffre Lakes, Canada Zakynthos, Greece are next to become overtouristed.
Palawan is a big group of islands. I'm hoping Filipino officials there develop the entire length of the island because they hold beaches that have to be seen to be believed. And it has one of the seven wonders of the world. Most folks go to the north but the south, which is even more underdeveloped, is a visit for those that are more adventurous as the second biggest bird of prey can be found there too
Unfortunately when hundreds or thousands of tourists start swimming there the water will start to become brown-yellow from sunscreen, pee and stirred up sand.
I had this same experience in Bali. Went to a beach that looked like absolute heaven on instagram. In reality it was littered with so much trash, smelled like urine, and was over crowded
Still the water is as expected and clean just as shown in the previous video
That’s good to hear usually it’s full of trash and waste
@@namedrop721it's because they don't allow people to swim there
It's kinda funny to expect there'll be no people in the famous tourist attraction.
yeah ..right?! how stupid is this vid...
Haha, true! Famous spots always draw a crowd. Sometimes we hope for a miracle, right?

Thailand beach and sea is really beautiful especially in the south
You really to go early in the morning!
There’ll be people but much less! I just spent the night aboard a boat in Maya Bay and was the first ones to arrive! Speechless! A truly nature gem in this World!
I did the same thing. best way to experience the island for sure.

Yep went nude swimming here nobody else around
El barco era tuyo o lo alquilaste? Si es así donde puedo hacerlo yo?
How did you spent a night aboard a boat? Was it like a yacht?
still it’s beautiful 😊
ruclips.net/video/t0tVJ6QfC8U/видео.htmlsi=cx_iRgS-GGpcr4uq❤
I just went maya bay today and it was kinda amazing! Lots and lots of people tho
I was there 2 times before Leonardo and i was alone and it was beautiful
Leonardo got there also when there was a bunch of people already there! Haha
😊😂
lol, I was there by coincidence when the book was released
❤ crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches as fine as powder. 🎉
Honesty or not. If you come late, sure it will be full. That's why you go there via early tours. They start at about 5.15 and you will be there first
ruclips.net/video/t0tVJ6QfC8U/видео.htmlsi=cx_iRgS-GGpcr4uq❤
You are so right! I did the early morning tour and it was beautiful!
Hello darling 💕
reality is as beautiful as the expectation... just other people like you that have come there to witness it
Beautiful
Hello darling 💕
if you go on spring break well yes da!
It is still absolutely beautiful place and I loved every single second of it.
That’s Maya Bay for you-still beautiful,but def popular!😄
It is same as expected,if u want to avoid crowd go in October best time
I was lucky when I visited Maya Bay in 2021 it wasn’t too crowded. And it is too beautiful.
of course after corona was not so much people😂
No spoilers guys..it's really beautiful..go and explore.. ignore the negativity.... Thailand is one of my best place till now.... outstanding natural view....
Class natural vew ❤❤
สวยตลอดกาล ฉันหวังว่าสถานที่แห่งนี้จะยังคงความคลาสสิคไปอีกนาน แม้จะไม่มีภาพยนตร์ฮอลลีวู้ดเรื่องไหน มาใช้เป็นโลเคชั่นถ่ายทำอีกก็ตาม 😂
LOVE IT THERE!❤❤❤❤
Water like crystal clear
That’s every tourist destination. Get there at the right time and it’ll be great. Sharing is not that bad either
Love this video! We are in Bangkok Thailand and Thailand is awesome!
Hello daring 💕
even in the low season very crowded.but its a great island to see.
Hello darling 💕
Nice view
❤❤
❤❤❤ very nice video all the best
The water is beautiful, I wish you could swim in it though
Hello darling 💕
Attendance for those who saw that guy on stairs wearing Naruto 's t shirt 😂😂😂😅
it's not as bad as the vid shows. the beach is quite big and ppl only overcrowded around the entrance area. everyone can get nice pics. maya bay is still a must visit
Still it is beautiful
I was at Maya Beach in July 2023 it's really BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Awesome! July must've been a great time to visit. Such a beautiful place, right? 😍
What about rains? Were you lucky or it was raining on and off?
@@aparnafatima curious to know as well, planning to go in june but i'm worried rain will ruin it
Always love your vlog 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I went early morning here literally only 10 people were there on island.
Beach quality is same just added more people. So I would say expectations and reality are same
That’s sad tbh such a beautiful beach. I get taking photos but like enjoy yourselves

Still beautiful in thailand expaction reality still same no one cant beat thailand
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤....new subscriber

Bad
Been there and u r right. It's exactly packed with people. Plus no swimming

Hello darling 💕
Amazing
Get out of bed and go earlier to catch the sunrise.
That's the story of every place on this planet
Expectations is real, I went being empty it's beautiful
But how your expectations is real 😂❤😊
We can totally relate to it. But, as we know, traveling isn't only about relaxation but also going out of your comfort zone.
Absolutely! Traveling often pushes us out of our comfort zones, and the experiences, even the challenging ones, become part of the adventure. It's about embracing the unexpected. ✈️🌍
Your not the only person in the world lol but nice drone shot for sure
Depends on time of year..
Any good alternatives with cheap resorts and little crowds?
Try heading to Koh Yao Noi or Bamboo Island! They have way fewer tourists, and you can still enjoy that beautiful island vibe
Better beaches in the Philippines by far
I remember when in fact a lot of these beaches were quiet. :) now its all a little crazy sometimes. Life ;)
Try visit Palawan Philippines especially in Puerto Princesa City,, El Nido, and Coron Philippines. You won't regret coming. Sorry it's my hometown so I know how it is.
Thanks for the recommendation! Palawan sounds incredible, especially El Nido, and Coron. I'll definitely consider adding it to my future travel plans!
Sure no worries. Let me know if need help booking your travel there. I was a tourist guide there before migrating in the USA so I know people in high places hehe..
I have visited this paradise ❤
I went in 2013 and did the overnight camping in the bay…so nice since we were the only ones there after everybody left and had breakfast there before all the tourist boats started coming.
That's beautiful it's just some people
Hahaha!True😂😂
There is an agency that travels before everyone else and there are not many people at the beach at the same time. Just been here 3 days ago. I have not seen anything like this.
What is the agency? Thank you.
Oh no! That line was LONG
Beautiful place ❤
you can live in long beach at phi phi island , it s also beautiful
Agreed! We actually stayed on Long Beach in Phi Phi and had a wonderful time
Still looks good tbh 😊
Going into the water ❌
Filming the water ✅
Why can’t you go into the water
Yikes 😬 but I would still go just because it’s such a dreamy destination
Wow! 😍😍😍
Phuket 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful view 🤩🤩🤩
If u feel Maya Bay is the best, it means u've yet to visit Redang Island in Malaysia..👌
Reality is more beautiful
Nice view 😍❤️❤️❤️
😛😝 The "experience" is dependent on the time of year you visit. Although, Thailand has become highly over tourists since RUclips and vlogging popular.
Still beautiful 😍
I love that the place the actual author was writing about is still largely unknown. He changed it to Thailand because he didn't want the islands (somewhere in the Philippines) that inspired him to get ruined by mass tourism. And he was right!

Hello darling 💕
I’ve been to these places in 2018, got so many amazing pictures without people around me. Guess I was lucky 😅 or I might scared everyone off😂😂
There are choices to avoid the beaten track, early morning and late afternoon are a good time.
Depends on what time of day it is. If you go early in the morning or later at night theres less people there
It’s beautiful but know you aren’t allowed to swim there: just up to knees in water to take a video/ picture. If you want to swim in the sea there are many other beautiful beaches in Thailand where you can do so
People are just dust in this paradise, go there and don't rush. All those people are rushing to take pictures because they have 1 or 2 hrs to go back to the boat. Go for minimum 4 hrs, find a peaceful corner and enjoy the scenery.

Try Palawan Philippines next time

Yo. Ive been Gate keeping palawan for past 10 years ! Dont start giving people ideas plz
Palawan is a big group of islands. I'm hoping Filipino officials there develop the entire length of the island because they hold beaches that have to be seen to be believed. And it has one of the seven wonders of the world. Most folks go to the north but the south, which is even more underdeveloped, is a visit for those that are more adventurous as the second biggest bird of prey can be found there too
Been to El Nido Palawan last May 2024, it is beautiful. A lot of things to offer, next time I’ll visit Coron and Balabac Palawan😊
Go to Exuma. Beautiful beaches, no people.
Awesome view
True, but I enjoyed it
That was nice😂😂
Swimming is forbidden, I don't understand why 😢 I was there the last week. It's a beautiful place
Unfortunately when hundreds or thousands of tourists start swimming there the water will start to become brown-yellow from sunscreen, pee and stirred up sand.
The reason why i just go to Railay beach only. 😂 Save a lot of money. There's people but hey cheaper in cost
Thailand beautiful
You can't enjoy a wonderful place alone.
Beautiful place
It really is!
I had this same experience in Bali. Went to a beach that looked like absolute heaven on instagram. In reality it was littered with so much trash, smelled like urine, and was over crowded
went in 2003 hardly anyone there and was allowed to swim in water, not got any chance anymore
Anyone in 2024 ❤🎉 From Pet Medicine Sri Lanka ❤🎉🇱🇰
Have u visited all of thailand im coming for a calm trip to south islands i wanna avoid touristy places crowded places like this where should i go?
#beautiful ... i would still say its very beautiful ... no reality thing !!!
That is so truce 😂😂👌👌
