Maya Bay
Maya Bay is known for a 400 THB park visit with no swimming, and it fits a dry-season morning from Tonsai, Phuket, or Krabi. Swim at Pileh instead.

Maya Bay sits on Phi Phi Le, the park island; timed entry and a 400 THB fee apply. The conservation rule still bans swimming in the bay; pileh Lagoon is the usual swim stop on the same loop. Viking Cave is a look, not a climb-through; read the board at the desk that morning.
From Don, charter or join a 06:30 longtail if you already sleep in Tonsai, and from Phuket or Krabi, a day speedboat covers the loop. November to April is the window, and May to October boats cancel. Full ticket notes sit on Phi Phi islands.

- Fee: 400 THB. Often not inside a cheap tour price.
