Phi Phi's islands are karst limestone formations long used by local fishing communities; Maya Bay became internationally known after the film The Beach and later underwent closures to recover coral and sand.
Conservation
Local authorities periodically close sensitive sites and restrict visitor numbers; use reef-safe products, avoid touching coral, and follow guide instructions to reduce impact.
