Most beautiful Beach in THAILAND - Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi

Phuket Tours - www.getyourguide.co.uk/en-GB/...
Boat tour - www.getyourguide.co.uk/s?q=ko...
We travel to Koh Phi Phi island, and then go on a longtail boat to the beautiful and famous beach of Maya Bay which was in the film 'The Beach', this stunning beach has only just reopened in 2022 and is so empty compared to normal times! This has to be the most beautiful beach in Thailand in my opinion.

The young people travel together having fun and bonding with each other…PRICELESS LIFE EXPERIENCE.♥️💕☀️✨

[@Joelfriend]

Ohhh yes, can’t put a price on it! Great thing to do is to travel young, when you have no responsibility!

Me and the wife visited Thailand regularly in 2004 with our 1 Yr old son and the Thai people were so kind and friendly if you get a chance to travel and your legs will carry you don't ever put it off, love your vlogs and enjoy your many years of travelling together.

I DONT LIKE MAYA BAY I PREPARE .... EL NIDO AND CORON

[@NomadShifu]

Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on 3 sides. You can enjoy several beaches here.

[@Joelfriend]

It’s absolutely stunning, Maya bay has to be my favourite beach so far in Thailand!

[@BonanzaRoad]

It is so much fun to experience Thailand through your eyes… Really excellent video. The world is all messed up, so it is immensely pleasurable to remember that there are still wonderful things and places to visit.

[@Joelfriend]

Aw thank you Jeff, it’s tough time, even thinking about what is going on in other parts of the world seems silly that i am travelling at this point but brining life and positivity to people is always good in these times!

Another great video. So beautiful beach 🏖

[@Sahapolh]

It's really great time to visit Maya Bay during the period. Not crowded with people. I was there several years ago before the Covid19 pandemic and found a ton of visitors were there. Now, there is a lot of time and space enjoying beautiful places and experiencing gorgeous foods. Hopefully, you both had a really memorable trip in Thailand. Love your video.

[@KattieMetChris]

Unbelievable how gorgeous that water is!! Just amazing guys. So ready to be there already. All the best 🤙🤙

[@Joelfriend]

Aww thank you! You have to visit this beach it’s just break taking!!

Another great video! Loved the drone footage... Thailand is stunning!!

[@Joelfriend]

Thank you Imogen, Thailand is beautiful so excited to be here!

[@user-is6kp1ec2q]

So beautiful clip, I'm glad that you like Thailand.

Very beautiful Maya bay beach is white sand beach , Turquoise clean water and bright blue sky. 🏝🏖🏞

[@ervinslens]

Simply gorgeous scenery, nicely edited too.👌👌

Amazing video! Beach looks beautiful x

[@Joelfriend]

Aww thank you Sarah! X

[@MillaExplores]

The beach and the cliffs look absolutely gorgeous! Hopefully they'll be able to preserve it well and limit the amount of visitors ☺️

[@Joelfriend]

Yes I hope so it was so beautiful seeing it like this so hopefully they will keep pressing it and limit the amount of visitors per day!

[@jomontanee]

I read somewhere that 500 per day is the new limitation.

[@tachyarrhythmia1]

[@rabbitazteca23]

true and also enforce cleanup or something. This beauty must be preserved. It's quite breathtaking. Seeing this in person cannot do justice on what the camera shows. Being at the base of these monstrous riocks you are just transported to another world. I can't really explain it lol

[@mycookingtimemystyle8846]

Welcome to Thailand I’m also from Thailand my hometown in Bangkok but now I’m living in Germany I’ll move back in Jun I miss Thailand very much 😢😢

[@thomasphillips3162]

Hi Joel! Hi Emilia! I loved seeing that beautiful clear waterline showing when it was slowly moving up and passing the top slowly going all the way underwater with you guys when you were diving in the water! I also loved the pink 👙 swimsuit that you were wearing when I saw you swimming underwater in deeper water! Good job! You guys look like you had a good time!❤️🦈💧🐳🌊🐟😅🐬💕🐋🥰💦😍👍😊😘🙂🐠💐

[@Joelfriend]

It’s such a beautiful area!

[@fannymenesguen3379]

Hey guys, love the video, i beleive the new way to access and visit Maya Bay will be beneficial also, i went in there in 2017 and Maya bay was just hell, packed with speedboats fighting to park and tourists everywhere !!! was far away from paradise beach expectation !!! hopefully the entrance of the beach will stay the way it is right now and will only allow a certain amount of tourist to access it at the time !!! looking forward to get back there next year 😊 thanks for the lovely images !!!

[@anikalee9012]

Amount of tourists allowed to visit per day is limited now.

[@rabbitazteca23]

@@anikalee9012 it's better honestly. This placed used to be jam-packed and it was sooo bad lol

[@darcyagostinelli3073]

Hoping to head to Canada at the end of the year however after watching some of your videos, i might have to take a cheeky Thailand trip prior to that.

[@Joelfriend]

Ahaha, honestly Thailand is absolutely beautiful and it’s AMAZING value for money so I would highly recommend it!!

Another amazing video Joel, getting me so excited for my South East Asia backpacking trip💥

Yes man, that is so awesome, thanks for watching! Where are you planning on going?

[@steffanmoody7294]

I'm planning on hitting up the banana pancake trail, Indonesia, phillipiens and trekking in Nepal buddy

Sick video mate. No worries about the footage :)

[@donbc27]

wow nice beach🤩 , kind of similar in Caramoan islands of bicol province in Philippines

[@adventureswithangelaandwayne]

Hi great video.... What was the name of your accommodation you stayed in, only we are looking for accommodation to stay next month 👍

[@sparaglione]

I was at ko phi phi a few years ago, there is a walk that you can do up the hill to the view point. Also we hired a long tail boat and went to visit monkey beach.

[@Joelfriend]

Ahh that’s awesome we go to monkey beach in the next video actually!

[@Joelfriend]

Koh phi phi is an amazing island

[@Spaton96]

[@cheranut6709]

จริงค่ะ ไม่งั้นคงไม่เจอความสงบ😂

[@93ghana]

Thanks for your video ! Small question, how far is phi phi from phuket ? Do you think an excursion for one day on the island is enough? Unfortunately we won’t have the time to sleep on the island I think 🥲

[@Itchyknee88]

That guys t-shirt at 3:22 😂👍

[@GAMINGHAZA]

Looking to go travelling in Thailand next year, wondering wether it’s better to do a group trip through a company or do what you guys are doing and making ur own way around

[@user-pi9]

For your first time traveling in Thailand... Decide what you want, Thailand always welcomes you. 🙏🙏🙏😇😍😷

[@samitphompan7357]

Beautiful beach and cute guy 👍

Ahaha thank you!

[@tamanakumar4319]

Hi Joel, i have a question, i am planning to do backpacking through southeast Asia for 6 months, my starting point is Bali and probably staying there for a month. i am getting there on May 4th 2022. after Bali i am thinking to stay in Singapore for few days to a week. And i have no idea where to go from Singapore. i want to end my destination in Thailand. so Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos these are the places i also want to stop. Any ideas on how to do this in correct order? and any specific tips? Thank you

[@alimurad2614]

For a 2 month backpacking trip how much am I looking to spend on pre-trip expenses. Such as backpack, clothing, insurance, visas etc? Love the content Joel!

[@Joelfriend]

Well depends what countries you going to for visas! 1 month in Thailand is free! Maybe a backpack cost you about £100, do you already have summer clothes you probably won’t need any extras!

[@Joelfriend]

This is my travel insurance I use: www.truetraveller.com/backpackers-insurance?tag=4472 travel insurance is essential but can add up over time

[@alimurad2614]

Cheers for the link Joel. One more thing is what would you say the best way to get around indonesia and Malaysia is? Would you suggest flying to each main Island, and using trains and buses within each island? Or would you go about it another way? Thanks 👍

[@fiveppoj]

Hi Joel , Normally we have to pay the island entrance fee. 20 Bath fee maybe island entrance fee. by the way I love ur video,I really enjoy it. Hope you all the best!

[@alimurad2614]

Also how much in advance should I book domestic flights and flights between countries?

[@Joelfriend]

I don’t book domestic flights until a few days to 2 weeks before as there is no need to in my opinion

[@pongtornamornrattana5039]

I am Thai people love you 🤘🙏

[@Joelfriend]

Aww thank you!!

[@Rayoody1988]

I want to spend a full day at maya beach but I want to go to phi phi via ferry. Does that mean I have to stay 24 hours at koh phi phi?

[@IzaThindwa]

How long did the caat drone registration take ? 🥺 some people are also telling me I’ll be fine flying the drone just to make sure police aren’t around

maya bay is the most beautiful beach in the world.

[@vivzchunilal]

Was it strict to bring/use your drone?

[@ricardoalfarogonzalez9419]

Do you think it is better to visit Maya beach in the morning or in the afternoon?

🤟🏼 yewww

[@LearnThaiwithShelby]

I went there with a friend from Singapore last week. As a Thai, somehow I don’t think it’s worth for paying 400 Baht for the entrance fee. You can’t even swim there. Just a short beach where people line up to take photos.

[@user-wt4ug3mt5y]

Hi Good morning i see i think you like to go sea Thailand ok thanks to you good luck for you see you Bye thanks you

[@chriskomilvet6779]

beautiful, but sad, if you dive there ,there is garbage on the bottom..you just cant get away from people..earth is overpopulated

[@stangoodvibes]

It's not even close to the most beautiful beach in Thailand. And you can't swim - it's just a paddling pool for tourists. We were on a boat nearby and had paid the 400 baht already for diving, so we stopped in for a look. It's nice, but all pretty tacky now, and there are still other people around. You can find nicer beaches elsewhere and have them to yourself 🙄

[@silcozaun]

now it for shark to swim sorry for that it turn of shark

@@silcozaun it was ALWAYS a nursery for reef sharks, until 4000 idiots a day made it uninhabitable for sharks. Great that they are back.
