Accessibility:

Know in advance:
Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will close Maya Bay every year for 2 months in August and September
Notable rules at Maya Bay include no swimming, no single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and no use of drones without permission
During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, it's recommended wearing protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming
It's strongly recommended wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling
Speedboats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach
While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces
Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat
While Monkey Beach isn't a direct stop, you can still observe the monkeys when the tide is low
Remember to bring:
Bring a towel, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, water shoes or flip flops and a camera
