Maya Bay... Where dreams once became a movie scene.

Our southern sea trip this time had one major goal: visiting "Maya Bay"—the legendary bay featured in the movie *The Beach*. After being closed for years to allow nature to recover, it has now reopened gently for visitors. ⛵ We boarded a speedboat from Phuket early in the morning, taking about an hour before the guide slowed the boat down and announced, "Here we are... Maya Bay." The sound of the water gradually faded, leaving only the sound of the wind and the faint thumping of our hearts. 🏝 When the boat docked at the back of the island, we walked along a small wooden bridge through the forest for less than five minutes. Suddenly, paradise unfolded before our eyes... Crystal-clear blue sea, fine white sand, so still it looked like a painting. The bay is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, almost 180 degrees. No boats docked, no people swimming—just us, barefoot, walking on a beach where nature is breathing. 📸 Every corner is a photo spot. No need to set up or edit; everything is raw and stunning. The morning sunlight contrasts with the cliffs, the clear sea reflects off the grains of sand—so beautiful it takes your breath away. 🧘♀️ We sat quietly on the beach, forgetting our phones, forgetting the noise of people, and allowed ourselves to truly "be with nature." It's a feeling that's hard to find in today's world.
