The future of Thailand’s Maya Bay – Report #1 | VIDEO

Should Maya Bay reopen? Of course it probably will, at the start of 2022. But there are fears that, despite the best intentions, it will be back to mass tourism and ‘market forces rule’. Maya Bay is the Andaman region’s most popular tourist destination, based on interest generated from the 2000 Hollywood movie “The Beach” from the Alex Garland novel of the same name. The Thaiger is doing 3 reports from the Bay and the effects of the changes to the tourist infrastructure. With thanks to 5 Star Marine for taking us out to Maya Bay and Kolin Friske for piloting the drone.
