Book your own boat to take the same tour as I did in this video....here's a link for ya, thanks me later: 5starmarinephuket.com/locations/phi-phi-islands-2/
This video dropped at the PERFECT time. I’m getting married in Khon Kaen on November 25th and heading to Koh Yao Yai on the 28th. Maya Bay is on the list of places we want to visit.
I went to Maya Bay in 2002 and it was fantastic! About as many people as are there now in the afternoon and back then boats were allowed. Mostly Longtail and as you came around the corner it was breathtaking. And then mass-tourism ruined the experience in the years after. I'm so glad the Thai Government shut it down for 3 years I believe and came back with a sustainable tourism plan. It looks fantastic again!
Videos what Chris makes just motivates you to go to Thailand. Have been watching since the pandemic started when I knew I couldn't have possibility to go back there. Can't wait to go back in few months. Thank you for keeping the spirit up.
I literally was here two weeks ago , it was ab absolutely incredible all day trip around the phi phi islands and getting to be here in person was breathtaking an experience ill take to the grave with me!
@@Ememex8614 i didnt not , it got a little bit choppy at times but nothing major. No problems my end! Enjoy ill be back in asia for my 30th next year currently saving for a longer trip .. no holidays this year lol
I traveled around that area 35 years ago There were basically no tourists, glad I made it before mass tourism arrived, but definitely a beautiful area maybe the most beautiful place in Thailand
Ah, the rare ‘Phuket Seal’ technique, I see! Judges are conferring… and it’s a unanimous 1/10! Points deducted for splash radius and a perfect belly flop. But hey, you nailed the difficulty level for comedic impact! 🤣
I agree, 5 Star Marine is the only way to enjoy a trip of a Lifetime, trouble is its addictive and is now a regular part of my Thailand Travel Plans. I'm back with them in April
when I went to Pi Leh lagoon first time...feeling like backing to the "Atlantis world"...wonderful and timeless...wow wow...is the only word that I could say..
Have visited that area 3 times including that beach...my last visit paid a long boat owner for the day and snorkeled all around the islands...fabulous!
Great video Chris and Adam! I've been going to Phi Phi every year (or multiple times a year) since 2000. It's always an amazing place. It's definitely gotten more crowded, but nothing better than taking a longtail boat out for a day around the islands and bays.
I am meeting my wife in Thailand in a few weeks and I just booked this same tour! Looks amazing and it’s our 10 year anniversary! Cannot wait to experience this. Thank you, Chris!
Absolutely amazing beauty. After living in Hawai'i for 20 years, and traveling to Australia, the Philippines, and Guam this is truly one of the best-looking beaches I have seen. Cant wait to check them out.
Hello Chris, wow those places are amazing. Thank you for showing us precious sceneries I’m really enjoyed watching. Some places you went even I’m Thai I haven’t got a chance to visit as many islands as you do, lucky you. 👍🏻
I really took it for granted the times I visited Maya bay all those times I visited there 15-20 years ago. We could hang out and lounge on the beach for as long as we wanted. Back then, I just thought it was a nice beach but didn't realize I needed to cherish the privilege. Now, it looks more like a museum piece. Come see and take photos and then they kick you out. I completely understand why. Too many visitors the last 20 years.
you hit the nail on the head at 7:31 INSANE, i coming to Thailand in 25 days staying for 6 months living in Chiang Mai, going to travel during smoky season FEB and MAR and follow your foot steps to the letter, with 5 Star Marine, will be in Bangkok for two weeks beginning of Feb, would really love to meet.
Thanks for taking me back to Maya bay and Koh Kai. I fell in love with Maya bay as soon as I reached there. Last time, I was at Maya bay in 2018 before it got shut down. I was at Koh Kai in 2010. The most amazing part was that only me and few local friends were there barbecuing seafood on the beach one particular night. Those local small shops still look the same!
Chris, love what you do and love your passion... Not to be a buzz kill, but you are truly going 5-star today... you realize that most people can't afford that $963/day rate that the 5-star marine charges... Obviously if you have a ton of people, it'll pencil out less, but otherwise unaffordable for most... You should have disclosed that and also gave more economic options.
I managed to get to Maya bay shortly after things properly opened up again after covid. 5am start to get there early and there were hardly any people there. Just the most incredible beach and maybe the most beautiful place I have ever been. I can imagine when I gets crazy busy it would lose its shine, but it was unbelievable.
Chris what a wonderful video, we are going to Thailand in January and staying part of our trip on Kho Phi phi, I want 5 star marine to take us on a full day trip, I have messaged them just hope this will be possible 🙏
Hello. We are here in Phuket and you are absolutely right about 5 Star Marine private tour. We had sooooo much fun going to places that i have never seen such beauty !!!! We had a private guide and he absolutely took us to the most beautiful beach and caves and mangroves. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Thank you for recommending this to us. 3:02 Nov 10,2023. ❤❤❤❤
I have trip with star marine this year in Feb with P Kong and he is amazing, friendly and take me and my boyfriend to everywhere we want to go and we love that trip. That trip s the best experience that I have and I was born in Thailand
Excellent video! Your best yet! Last time I was in Koh Phi Phi, we couldn't go to Maya as the water was too rough. Bummer. Your video brings back some awesome memories. Keep up the great work! The Kingdom is calling!
Your videos are an inspiration to me. Trying hard as I can to get there. Getting rid of my Apple stuff to finance my trip. Gonna get rid of my Mac studio and Mac mini. Get a MacBook Air and leave with just that and a backpack. I can't wait. Stuff is going cheap for anyone interested. Lol. I can't wait to have a Beer with you Chris
0:31 That sunrise is EPIC! It’s my dream to visit MAYA BAY once in my life. I went there in May last year but the storm just came during my boat was in the sea half way so the plan was changed.💔
Thank you for showing this wonderful place Chris! I really envious you!😂 I am Thai living in France, i have never been there in my life!🙈 But this time, i'm coming to visit my home for Christmas, i have decided to book a trip to Maya bay, Phi Phi islands, finally!!!🎉 i can't wait to escape the 5c degree rainy the whole week here😑 to be on the beach, enjoy sunbathing & sun , street foods, thai massage there!😂 Take care & stay healthy Chris! Love all your vlog!❤❤❤
Excellent video but you forgot to mention how much your epic adventure cost. I'd appreciate if you could tell me what it would cost for two people to recreate your day. Thanks.
Hey Chris, awesome video and what places to see! Would have been great to put in prices for trip and lunch…. Cannot wait to arrive for a month or two leave to explore! Thanks mate! 🇦🇺
For it's Phang Nga; our second home. But we loved around Phi Phi. We stopped on a small island (don't know the name), was just our boat and the sand was pink. Please check also Surin islands.
Chris I hate you right now (LOL) so JEALOUS, What a EPIC and AWESOME day, I have been to Maya Bay but so jealous Bro, next time can you pay for my flight to Thailand and accommodation, so I can come too LOL, loved the vid.
Hey Chris simply stunning. We arrive to retire in two weeks sooo excited cant wait. Hey what camera is that you are shooting with if you dont mind saying.. pretty sure cant get footage like that with an Iphone... Keep safe Brother. Thanks in advance.
New visitors are so spoilt. I had to climb a a rickity rope ladder to get on the beach at Maya Bay in 2013. We slept overnight on a boat and hit the beach at 7am. Only 10 on the beach that morning.

Hi chris love your videos man your enthusiasm is amazing 😂 im gping to Railay for a week at the start of December, what type of weather should i prepare for?
It's absolutely beautiful beach one of the best possibly. The film The Beach leaded by Leonardo DiCaprio films here. I've been there 19 years ago. It's pure paradise ❤
Best way go is on a private long tail. Much cheaper and you’ll get the proper Thai experience. Maya Bay is sensational! PRO TIP: Go early!!!!! Also Drone’s are banned on Maya Bay … Can get a massive fine!!!
Book your own boat to take the same tour as I did in this video....here's a link for ya, thanks me later: 5starmarinephuket.com/locations/phi-phi-islands-2/
Hey what's something like that cost? I know it's kind of rude to ask but I've never chartered a boat anywhere before.
There are no prices listed on the website...
@@jesterapp i think it depends on the time off year but your best bet is to just contact 5 Star Marine and ask them, based on your timing.
The cost is prohibitively expensive for 9 out of 10 travellers. I have enquired.

This video dropped at the PERFECT time. I’m getting married in Khon Kaen on November 25th and heading to Koh Yao Yai on the 28th. Maya Bay is on the list of places we want to visit.
Congrats! I got married in Khon Kaen this year and headed after to Phuket with friends to celebrate. All the best!
Mazel Tov! November 25th is my 64th birthday!🎉

Thai Gov. should sponsor this channel, he's done a better job promoting Thailand tourism than TTT.

Wow, I was looking for the price and that was a lot higher than I expected, that's silly even by Phuket price levels
Im spending 7 nights in phuket in december, i WILL be doing this tour, i cant wait 😁
Hey Chris and Adam, been there in 2003. It really blew my mind, miss it a lot. Happy trails and God speed to you guys.
Soft power of Thailand.
คุณนำเสนอได้สุดยอดมาก ขอบคุณแทนคนไทยทุกคนครับ
I went to Maya Bay before YOU did??? I never would have expected that!

Nice dive Adam, no comments about Chris. Nice day trip, looked like a great day guys. Would be nice if you gave us the prices.
Unreal, I am seriously making plans to go! That's it!
0:31 That sunrise is EPIC!
It’s my dream to visit MAYA BAY once in my life. I went there in May last year but the storm just came during my boat was in the sea half way so the plan was changed.💔
Too funny Chris. I was there on the 24th. I’m guessing we were pretty close to crossing paths. Kob kum krup.
Wow, it's wonderful.
Beauty video Chris and Adam! Just wondering when video was shot, recently?
Beautiful...It reminds me of my island of New Caledonia! That white sand is amazing...
ภาพสวยครับชื่นชมคริปที่คุณนำเสนอ
I went two times to Phi Phi. Once on a luxury and the other on Longtail. Longtail is sooooooooo much better and private.
Agree longtail are awesome. So are five star marine, but they are expensive! Great vid too Chris!!
Thank you for showing this wonderful place Chris!

We are in Phuket now and enjoying a trip to James Bond island with 5 Star Marine.
Thank you for your support. Hope you had a wonderful experience with our team :)
Awesome video boys love Maya Bay and Phi phi, you guys need to try the Similan Islands that's another level above phi phi
Funny how when you live someplace, like Adam you never go to the touristy places. But places are usually touristy for a reason. Maya Bay is beautiful!

Hi Chris great video we are on phi phi for Christmas what was the name of the restaurant you stopped for lunch cheers

I'll take the Cadillac. Why it's not 'proper' I can't fathom.
