Tourism killed Thailand’s most famous bay. Here’s how it was brought back to life
Maya Bay in Thailand, once devastated by mass tourism, has undergone a significant rehabilitation program led by marine biologist Dr. Thon Thamrongnawasawat and supported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and Singha Estates. The bay, part of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, was closed in 2018 to allow for coral replanting and wildlife recovery. Since reopening, strict visitor limits and infrastructure improvements have been implemented to protect the area. The project serves as a model for sustainable tourism, balancing ecological preservation with economic needs.
