The World’s Most Forbidden Places

Maya Bay, Thailand

Maya Bay, Thailand is a stunningly beautiful beach located on the island of Koh Phi Phi Leh. It was made famous by the 2000 movie The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The bay is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and crystal clear waters, making it a popular destination for tourists.

Unfortunately, due to the environmental damage caused by the influx of visitors, the Thai government has closed the bay to the public indefinitely. Despite this, Maya Bay remains an iconic destination and a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural environment.
