To Maya Bay, Koh Phraya Nak
(aka Koh Phi Phi Le)
  At seven this morning we were ready to roll with the sunrise. Monkey
Bay quiet save for a local
fisherman.
 Ten minutes later we were off and
the first two tour boats were in
position.
  The Sunsail charter yacht (the dot to
the right of the first picture) is dwarfed by the
corner – we could tuck in tight to have a closer look
at the rock formations as the water is twenty five metres.
  Rounding the
corner and a close up of one of the
caves.
  The far end
of the island and rock falls or a stack that wasn’t to
be.
  More caves and overhangs.
  Stalactites a long way
up.
 We crossed the gap – a cute little hop of a mile
or so.
  The gap and the very sheer side of
Koh Phi Phi Le.
 Looks like a lumpy
saddle.
 Sunsail pokes their nose into Maya Bay and does a swift u-ee to anchor
outside.
  Tucked in on my
chartplotter and Bear’s IPad (which shows the dive sites).
 Quarter past eight and there are flocks of tourists here already. This
is the beach where they filmed The Beach.
 Piccadilly
Circus with long tails, power boats, dive boats and ferries. We pick up a
mooring ball and go for a snorkel.
ALL IN ALL A BAY NOT TO BE
MISSED
BEAUTIFUL BUT TOURISTS
