I was there in 2003. Wow 20 years ago (I am 52 now). I miss it so much and keep planning to go back. Your video is inspiring me to get on it! I can't get over the water in this vlog. Unbelievable. I love your music selection too. It is soothing and matches the scenery perfectly!
It looks incredible now. There used to be those floating swim barriers, porta potties, and dozens of boats in the water. I'm glad they're doing that. Also those plastic jetties and concrete entrance and view deck helps. There's was none of that when we went there and I saw an elderly lady trying to navigate the rocky entrance and hurt herself. You guys make such great content.
I'm coming to phi phi next Thursday for 3 nights, then moving on to khao lak for 5 days. I have another 3 days I haven't planned as yet. I've waited since 2020 for this trip. It was cancelled twice. I definitely will try visit maya bay early. Thanks for that tip 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous views and good video plus information. BTW, at the beginning of the video Carol was sitting in the front of the boat & she looks like a SUPERMODEL!!!
Definitely worth the visit, the best is to stay overnight on Phi Phi then hire private boat to visit early morning like you did then go snorkeling and visit small islands nearby. In the evening, you can hike to the view point for sunset beer. So 3 days 2 nights would fit perfectly.
Not realy. Unfortunately the beach is closed and Phi Phi is very crowded. Nothing special. Very noisy and dirty place. I recommend staying in Krabi Town.
absolutely stunning Phi Phi islands. Thai people should take care of these jewel islands. I love the movie and Maya bay is the most magical place I've been to.!
In 2012 I went to Maya Bay. There were over 30 of the big high speed multi engine motor boats that bring visitors from Phuket lined up on the beach. An absolute massive crowd. Much better the way you are seeing it. All the best to you. I love your Vlogs.
Great summary of the Maya bay tour! I am on a plane in 2 days for it. Love this video as it shows the actual methods of moving around and the towns. Really love this style of shooting. I probably will do the speedboat from Krabi as I dont want to stay in Phi Phi just to bounce to Maya, so I will probably see the massive crowds at Maya bay.
Hiya. Chris and Carol. Your mum and dad. What a beautiful start to your day. It is still so beautiful. And perfect without the crowds. I do not mind the shade. 🤗 Maya Bay. Amazing. You did well to leave before all those crowds. That was chaos. Lovely video. Have a wonderful week.
Absolutely beautiful! My husband is now interested in visiting Singapore & Thailand because of your video’s! Your videos will be my go to when it’s time to plan our trip! Thank you 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Went the other week. 1st time was 12 years ago and was one of the last one's that got to spend the night on the island ❤️ . Absolutely incredible place !!!!!
Thank you both for sharing your videos, I really have enjoyed everyone I have watched and look forward to watching both past and future posts. I particularly enjoy the South American posts as I have not seen any on those countries previously. An amazing continent. Thanks again and happy safe travelling in the future. ( I normally watch on my smart TV, the only reason for not commenting earlier)
It is breath taking for the first time. But I wouldnt go back again as theres just too many ppl going there. When I went there was only 10 of us and we spent few hours on the island just relaxing, now its overcrowded n destroyed.
@@stangoodvibes Maya Bay should have been closed 15 years ago. The movie accelorated the change but tourism has exploded around the world over the last 40 years. And now it's social media/youtube making travel even more desireable.
Looks awesome, I went there a couple of years back, would love to go again, 'The Beach' was closed off when I visited, but you did the right thing and went early, Monkey beach I went to also, Phuket has many interesting places, you'll enjoy it too.
I was there in 2009. Back then was beautiful but also very crowded, I think even more then what I see lately on those TH-cam videos. Still it’s a beautiful place till this day!
Great couple of days you had on Phi Phi, must be so lovely to be with Carole and your parents doing a bit of touring, thank you for sharing your adventures in Thailand 🇹🇭 - ❤️ from 🇬🇧
Its still overcrowded, constant whisteling by the rangers as people go to the water but worst is the mayham going on on the other side with boat docking. We were there when the sea was rough and there were boats hitting each other, hitting the jetty, 20 people fell over, luckily no one to the water during one stronger collision and so on...
@@stangoodvibes I doubt I ruined anyone’s view we got there and for the most part everyone was gone. Slept overnight and left as everyone was coming in. I did moon one guy taking pics from the beach though. Maybe that was you?
Im a filipino watching ur vlog since day 1 from el nido with delightful travelers Im one of ur subscribers Im enjoying watching ur vlog So relaxing Views r awesome I think i love thailand more than my own country phil hihihi
Nice video guys. I have a question. We are going on Jan 25th. Is it still really high season? and is it better to buy phi phi island tours on the island or book earlier on some websites? which one is cheaper? you mentioned 60$ and is it for 4 ppl? we are 2
Loved the video. Amazing views. We will go to Krabi in april. So i am curious to see what we can expect. Thanks for sharing the reality. I am still in doubt to go to Maya Beach beceause of the crowd or choose a less popular island trip. Is there something you can recommend? Ps.: We are a couple mid 50. Still young harted 😉, but more into the chill mode 🙃.
You have to do maya bay, crowds or no crowds, its just incredible. Railay is absolutely stunning . Krabi/ao nang was a great base and a cool town, so much to do in and around.
Wow you guys are still in Thailand. Excellent video. Would you say, the beach on Phi Phi from the movie is nicer than the beach south of Rio . I think it is called Cabo Frio.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your travels. For the first time I will traveling while work remotely., so I will have to bring my laptop. When you leave the hotel to do this tours where do you leave your laptop?
WOW definitely a bucket list place. The white sand almost power like awesome. Glad they have lots of restrictions for the water and beach. Definitely PARADISE!!!
Hey guys, awesome video as always! I've just spent another evening glued to your travels and especially missing Thailand! I really want to know, what do you record your videos on, all on a go pro, and if so which one? I need to invest in whatever you're recording on, your videos are on point! Would really appreciate some advice on this as planning to start videoing my travels teaching English, so only covering a few bits of the local area I work in but more so life as an English teacher abroad etc. Many thanks in advance guys and keep the good stuff coming, you're awesome!
I was at Phi Phi Don and Lei in 2015. Back then ALL the boats went in to Maya Bay unfortunately. TONS of boats and hundreds and hundreds of people on the beach and swiming in the water. Very beautiful, but a tourist trap without any comparison back then. I am so glad that they changed all the rules, and even put the entrence on the back side of the island. When I was there, that back entrence just had a wodden "diving" platform.
I always look forward to your videos. Great filming and narrative. Would be great if you guys ventured to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Chris is great with the content and Carol is just plain beautiful inside and out. Thanks guys.

Smashed my foot up climbing up those rocks but was a more natural way to get on the island

You can look more at my channel, I invite you 🙂

Spent many months as a scuba dive master on Phi phi, diving here and the area most days. Will always be a special place for me.
Lovely that you could share that beautiful place with your mum and dad Carol. ☀️🌴🐠💕🇨🇦
Wow what a beautiful place. Definitely have to do that trip next time.

Amazing! Maya Bay has been on my bucket list since i watched "The Beach" 20+ years ago! Thanks for sharing my friends!

I probably will do the speedboat from Krabi as I dont want to stay in Phi Phi just to bounce to Maya, so I will probably see the massive crowds at Maya bay.
Good call going early! I went mid day and it was packed! I booked through my hotel like you guys, but they didn’t have an ‘early option.’
Great video, guys. It was worth watching. Well done.
Hiya. Chris and Carol. Your mum and dad. What a beautiful start to your day.

Another adventurous day on my worldly tour with JP. Beautiful beaches, neat little village and great food once again.
JP is only one. John Paul. 😊
Beautiful water and bay!
The movie drastically changed Phi Phi! It was beautiful and quiet before. Thx Hollywood!

Thank you for that moment of Zen.
Wow super 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks again for sharing

Looking beautiful... Is the any good reason that no people taking plunge to the water?
Paradise! Wow!
Thanks for sharing it
Amazing 👍🙂
Great couple of days you had on Phi Phi, must be so lovely to be with Carole and your parents doing a bit of touring, thank you for sharing your adventures in Thailand 🇹🇭 - ❤️ from 🇬🇧
Great video guys! We loved that area...Koh Lanta should be on your list, it's a great island :)
Its still overcrowded, constant whisteling by the rangers as people go to the water but worst is the mayham going on on the other side with boat docking. We were there when the sea was rough and there were boats hitting each other, hitting the jetty, 20 people fell over, luckily no one to the water during one stronger collision and so on...
Very nice scenery.
Amazing & best place in Phi Phi Island 🏝 in Thailand 🇹🇭 ..
Hi chris, thank you for the videos. May i ask where did you buy the private boat tour?
Beauliful
We used to enter from the front opening not from the back side of the island
Parabens pelo video!!! From Brazil
What camera do you have please. We're going next May
beautiful video! what camera do you shoot with?
Beautiful...thank you!
A paradise on earth, Amazing Thailand!
C'est Magnifique !
The way to do it is charter your own sailboat. I’m not sure if they still allow it but we anchored right outside and had maya bay to ourselves.
@@stangoodvibes I doubt I ruined anyone’s view we got there and for the most part everyone was gone. Slept overnight and left as everyone was coming in. I did moon one guy taking pics from the beach though. Maybe that was you?
This island is iconic
beautiful vlog, what time of the year u guys went to Maya Bay?
Great video as always, but at 2:38 it's quite clear Chris's dad looks better than Chris 😂😍
Im a filipino watching ur vlog since day 1 from el nido with delightful travelers
Im one of ur subscribers
Im enjoying watching ur vlog
So relaxing
Views r awesome
I think i love thailand more than my own country phil hihihi
Wich camera 📷 you used brother 😢
Nice video guys. I have a question. We are going on Jan 25th. Is it still really high season? and is it better to buy phi phi island tours on the island or book earlier on some websites? which one is cheaper? you mentioned 60$ and is it for 4 ppl? we are 2
Is the black shark fin still there living?
Beautiful beach.
Loved the video. Amazing views.
We will go to Krabi in april. So i am curious to see what we can expect.
Thanks for sharing the reality.
I am still in doubt to go to Maya Beach beceause of the crowd or choose a less popular island trip.
Is there something you can recommend?
Ps.: We are a couple mid 50. Still young harted 😉, but more into the chill mode 🙃.
You have to do maya bay, crowds or no crowds, its just incredible.
Railay is absolutely stunning .
Krabi/ao nang was a great base and a cool town, so much to do in and around.
I spent a week in Krabi a four years ago, Tonsai and Rayleigh and it was wonderful
@@leebryantravels Thanks 🙏. We booked a few nights in Railey to enjoy the vibe.
Wow you guys are still in Thailand. Excellent video. Would you say, the beach on Phi Phi from the movie is nicer than the beach south of Rio . I think it is called Cabo Frio.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your travels. For the first time I will traveling while work remotely., so I will have to bring my laptop. When you leave the hotel to do this tours where do you leave your laptop?
Fantastic.😲👍😊🇹🇭
WOW definitely a bucket list place. The white sand almost power like awesome. Glad they have lots of restrictions for the water and beach. Definitely PARADISE!!!
Beautiful island, looks like one of the islands in Palawan. How about bringing ur parents to the Philippines, too ❤❤❤
Nice video
Hey guys, awesome video as always! I've just spent another evening glued to your travels and especially missing Thailand! I really want to know, what do you record your videos on, all on a go pro, and if so which one? I need to invest in whatever you're recording on, your videos are on point! Would really appreciate some advice on this as planning to start videoing my travels teaching English, so only covering a few bits of the local area I work in but more so life as an English teacher abroad etc. Many thanks in advance guys and keep the good stuff coming, you're awesome!
I was at Phi Phi Don and Lei in 2015.
Back then ALL the boats went in to Maya Bay unfortunately.
TONS of boats and hundreds and hundreds of people on the beach and swiming in the water.
Very beautiful, but a tourist trap without any comparison back then.
I am so glad that they changed all the rules, and even put the entrence on the back side of the island.
When I was there, that back entrence just had a wodden "diving" platform.
i was just explaining the same story lol, ive been in 2010, 2014 and 2019.... people would not believe what it used to be like, horrendous .
Who did you guys book with?
So was Maya Bay worth the ticket price? Other beaches with no fees & fewer people seems just as interesting.
i love jumping places specially to carol shes good and beutiful lke her mu ch
superb miss 😆😆😆😆😆
Which month did you travel?
Did you get there from Bankcock?
What is the name of the hotel in Phi Phi, to book the tour ? Or can you share the contact information of the tourist guide?
Just noticed Chris and his dad have an almost identical gait.
True!
I always look forward to your videos. Great filming and narrative. Would be great if you guys ventured to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Chris is great with the content and Carol is just plain beautiful inside and out. Thanks guys.
Yes it is🌴🌴🌴👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Nice
@ 4:19 the view from "the beach" 🏖
Amazing!
Only dip your feet on that beach is worth to be there. So so beautiful like a postcard.
