Maya BayNational park authorities Tuesday announced they have come up with a rehabilitation plan for famed Maya Bay in Krabi, which is to close on June 1 to allow it a brief respite from tourists. When Maya Bay reopens, it will have a new daily limit of 2,000 tourists and boats will no longer be allowed to cross the shallow reef. Maya Bay is part of the Noppharatthara-Beach Phi Phi Island National Park that is to be shut down during the same period. He said when Maya Bay reopens, tourist boats will not be allowed to dock in the bay to protect a coral reef. A long boardwalk will be built from the new pier to Maya Bay.
