EXPLORE Thailand's Best National Marine Park

This is the best way to discover Thailand's top National Park and it's something you MUST do once in your life. Trust me.
I'm addicted to this place and find myself venturing back out to the Andaman sea every few months. This time I took a private boat tour through Koh Phi Phi and let me tell you, this is the only way to do it.
Here's a link that you can use to book the exact tour you saw in this video: 5starmarinephuket.com/locatio...

Book your own boat to take the same tour as I did in this video....here's a link for ya, thanks me later: 5starmarinephuket.com/locations/phi-phi-islands-2/

[@jesterapp]

Hey what's something like that cost? I know it's kind of rude to ask but I've never chartered a boat anywhere before.

[@banglamungian2022]

There are no prices listed on the website...

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

@@jesterapp i think it depends on the time off year but your best bet is to just contact 5 Star Marine and ask them, based on your timing.

[@shaunscully1173]

The cost is prohibitively expensive for 9 out of 10 travellers. I have enquired.

I literally was here two weeks ago , it was ab absolutely incredible all day trip around the phi phi islands and getting to be here in person was breathtaking an experience ill take to the grave with me!

[@abc_0_10_11]

Videos what Chris makes just motivates you to go to Thailand. Have been watching since the pandemic started when I knew I couldn't have possibility to go back there. Can't wait to go back in few months. Thank you for keeping the spirit up.

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

Great to hear!

[@cpinventar]

I traveled around that area 35 years ago There were basically no tourists, glad I made it before mass tourism arrived, but definitely a beautiful area maybe the most beautiful place in Thailand

[@wheatie99]

I am meeting my wife in Thailand in a few weeks and I just booked this same tour! Looks amazing and it’s our 10 year anniversary! Cannot wait to experience this. Thank you, Chris!

[@davidrimmer7422]

I agree, 5 Star Marine is the only way to enjoy a trip of a Lifetime, trouble is its addictive and is now a regular part of my Thailand Travel Plans. I'm back with them in April

[@5StarMarinePhuket]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@mikeyboy3054]

I went to Maya Bay in 2002 and it was fantastic! About as many people as are there now in the afternoon and back then boats were allowed. Mostly Longtail and as you came around the corner it was breathtaking. And then mass-tourism ruined the experience in the years after. I'm so glad the Thai Government shut it down for 3 years I believe and came back with a sustainable tourism plan. It looks fantastic again!

[@marcp108]

I haven't been there yet - but I will in the future.

[@jayz4703]

Come back soon it’s have another island such a beautiful too tho

[@duisunny]

when I went to Pi Leh lagoon first time...feeling like backing to the "Atlantis world"...wonderful and timeless...wow wow...is the only word that I could say..

[@NightLight04]

Ah, the rare ‘Phuket Seal’ technique, I see! Judges are conferring… and it’s a unanimous 1/10! Points deducted for splash radius and a perfect belly flop. But hey, you nailed the difficulty level for comedic impact! 🤣

[@thomashamilton9779]

Have visited that area 3 times including that beach...my last visit paid a long boat owner for the day and snorkeled all around the islands...fabulous!

[@chadalaem]

Hello Chris, wow those places are amazing. Thank you for showing us precious sceneries I’m really enjoyed watching. Some places you went even I’m Thai I haven’t got a chance to visit as many islands as you do, lucky you. 👍🏻

[@daveclarke5766]

you hit the nail on the head at 7:31 INSANE, i coming to Thailand in 25 days staying for 6 months living in Chiang Mai, going to travel during smoky season FEB and MAR and follow your foot steps to the letter, with 5 Star Marine, will be in Bangkok for two weeks beginning of Feb, would really love to meet.

It's been great so far , but phi phi has really raised the bar , looking forward to a night out at the beach bars

[@genoeckley3442]

Absolutely amazing beauty. After living in Hawai'i for 20 years, and traveling to Australia, the Philippines, and Guam this is truly one of the best-looking beaches I have seen. Cant wait to check them out.

[@taksinvasin4446]

welcome

[@garyinasia7162]

Great video Chris and Adam! I've been going to Phi Phi every year (or multiple times a year) since 2000. It's always an amazing place. It's definitely gotten more crowded, but nothing better than taking a longtail boat out for a day around the islands and bays.

[@DreamofThailand19000]

Thanks for taking me back to Maya bay and Koh Kai. I fell in love with Maya bay as soon as I reached there. Last time, I was at Maya bay in 2018 before it got shut down. I was at Koh Kai in 2010. The most amazing part was that only me and few local friends were there barbecuing seafood on the beach one particular night. Those local small shops still look the same!

[@sflxn]

I really took it for granted the times I visited Maya bay all those times I visited there 15-20 years ago. We could hang out and lounge on the beach for as long as we wanted. Back then, I just thought it was a nice beach but didn't realize I needed to cherish the privilege. Now, it looks more like a museum piece. Come see and take photos and then they kick you out. I completely understand why. Too many visitors the last 20 years.

[@M_E_Travels]

I went to Maya Bay before YOU did??? I never would have expected that!

[@nejirehadou6069]

I am Thai even i havent seen this before. Amazing beach

[@Markybow1971]

Im spending 7 nights in phuket in december, i WILL be doing this tour, i cant wait 😁

[@davidbollaerts4705]

Hey Chris and Adam, been there in 2003. It really blew my mind, miss it a lot. Happy trails and God speed to you guys.

[@philiphand9539]

Chris, love what you do and love your passion... Not to be a buzz kill, but you are truly going 5-star today... you realize that most people can't afford that $963/day rate that the 5-star marine charges... Obviously if you have a ton of people, it'll pencil out less, but otherwise unaffordable for most... You should have disclosed that and also gave more economic options.

[@banglamungian2022]

Wow, I was looking for the price and that was a lot higher than I expected, that's silly even by Phuket price levels

[@KardosoMedia]

Looks incredible! Would love to visit!

[@TomBedlammusic]

I managed to get to Maya bay shortly after things properly opened up again after covid. 5am start to get there early and there were hardly any people there. Just the most incredible beach and maybe the most beautiful place I have ever been. I can imagine when I gets crazy busy it would lose its shine, but it was unbelievable.
