More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a low-profile speedboat as the harbor light thickens—engine chatter undercutting the sea's breath. The ride from Phuket cuts across Andaman blue, and within an hour the limestone cliffs of Phi Phi Ley rise like weathered towers, their faces streaked with jungle and mineral veins.

Conservation
Maya Bay and several nearby sites have faced closures to allow reef recovery—respect closures, avoid touching coral, and use reef-safe products.

Bring cash for park fees
National park entrance fees and some local charges are often excluded—carry small Thai baht to pay on arrival.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin; apply before boarding and bring a small bottle for reapplication.
Prepare for boat motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before departure; the speedboat can be bouncy in open water.
Respect wildlife distance
Do not feed or chase monkeys—animals bite and feeding alters their behavior; keep valuables secure.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects both your skin and nearby coral during sun-exposed boat and beach time.
