Is Thailand's Pipi island still open? Is it true that the Mayan Bay Beach is closed until 2021?

The beach in the movie looks relaxing and can't see people. You will think it's a deserted and quiet place. Over the years, island fishing has become more and more popular. The Mayan Bay in Thailand is famous for the movie "beach" starring Leonardo, an American actor. It receives thousands of tourists every day. But the Thai authorities decided to close it. What's the matter? When will the Mayan Bay Beach reopen?

Among them, the Maya Bay of little Pipi island is surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is the location for shooting in the movie "beach", and once has a great reputation. The blue water reflects the sparkling wave light. The film is as clear as before. You can see the fish under the water through the strong sunlight. It's a good diving place.

"Maya Bay is the heart of our tourism industry," said watana, chairman of the Jiami Government Tourism Association, which represents more than 200 local travel agencies and hotel operators. "With the closure of Maya Bay for nearly a year, the local ecological environment has recovered well, but there have also been deterioration. For example, in the famous diving site Bida NOK island and the surrounding waters of the tourist attraction" virgin cave ", it has been found that" curved Coral "and" Rose coral "have albinism. So environmentalists point out that the local ecological environment has recovered well, but it is not the time to open up.

The Mayan Bay of Pipi island is not far away from Phuket Island, but the difference is very big. Phuket Island is a beach suitable for vacation and sightseeing, and going to the Mayan Bay is more like an adventure trip.

Prior to the closure of the Maya Bay, up to 5000 people visited every day, resulting in the death of many reefs.

Most tourists visit Maya Bay for only a few hours. German tourist vogelsberg said she thought the Maya Bay she saw in the film was very different from what she actually felt.

From June 1, 2018, Thailand decided to temporarily close the Mayan Bay Beach in Pipi island for four months, but later announced an indefinite extension of the closing time. Recently, the Thai government announced that the closure will last until 2021.
