The head of the Thai tourism office in Krabi has denied reports that Maya Bay, Phi Phi Ley island’s best-known area, will be made off limits for visitors.
Previously, it was reported that the area would be closed between June and September following serious contamination and damage caused by overwhelming tourism.
Maya Bay became famous after serving as a filming location for The Beach, a movie starring Leonardo di Caprio and Tilda Swinton.
