History
The Phi Phi islands are steep limestone karsts formed by uplift and erosion; the area gained global attention after tourism boomed in the late 20th century and management shifted following the 2018 closure of Maya Bay.
Conservation
Maya Bay and nearby sites operate under visitation limits and reef protection rules—use reef‑safe products, avoid touching coral, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
