Maya Bay situated on Phi Phi ley has been made famous by the filming of the beach in 2000 featuring Leonardo Di Caprio.

Up until 2005 camping was indiscriminate and rubbish and damage to the island caused the National Park authorities to ban camping on the island.

In November 2007 planned camping was reintroduced with one tour operator allowed to bring limited numbers of people to the island under strict conditions over rubbish removal and customer behaviour.

The trip is run by two Phi Phi locals and one Australian expat.

We have secure luggage storage at our tour shop for when you camp. To get to our tour shop walk off the pier turn right and then walk about 300 meters and take the 4th street on the left (Island divers a big green dive shop is where you turn left) and walk another 50 meters to our travel shop. It is called Chao Koh Tour and has the camping signs out front. There is a map on our website. Bookings Page & Map. We can arrange all your travel and hotel needs for Phi Phi and your next destination. You need to meet the rest of the group to at the main pier on Phi Phi Don at 3:30 for a 4:00 pm departure. Look for the Reggae coloured camping boat on the small pier at the end of the main pier.

Make sure you bring your receipt with you.

A purpose converted fishing trawler transports customers to Maya Bay after stopping at the Viking Cave and snorkelling at Pileh Bay, Losama Bay or Shark Point (depending on tides). Fruit is served on board.
We arrive on ‘the beach’ around 5 pm just as all the day tourists are leaving the island and the island slowly but surely becomes deserted.
