The ferry slips out of Rassada Harbor at first light, the harbor lights shrinking as the Andaman Sea opens. Salt air pushes against the bow and the limestone cliffs of Phi Phi Le rise ahead—sheer, gray faces streaked with green where jungle clings. As the boat threads past Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon, the water dares you closer: a clear, blue pressure that invites a snorkel mask and curiosity.

History
Phi Phi’s karst islands are limestone formations typical of the Andaman Sea; Maya Bay rose to global attention after the 1999 film "The Beach," which later spurred conservation closures.
Conservation
Maya Bay and local reefs have undergone closures and restoration; tourists can help by using reef-safe sunscreen, not stepping on corals and avoiding single-use plastics.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral by choosing mineral-based sunscreen and reapply sparingly; plan to rinse off before entering the water when possible.
Bring a snug snorkel mask
Ill-fitting masks fog and leak—use a mask you’ve tested and pack anti-fog or rinse salt from it between dives.
Carry motion-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-ship for the smoothest ride.
Cash for island purchases
Small cafes, stalls and tipping are often cash-based—bring Thai baht in small bills for snacks or lockers.
Snorkel mask and fins
A personal mask and fins improve comfort and visibility compared with rental equipment.
