Rent a longtail boat from ko phi phi don for around 1500B for 3 hours at 8am in the morning and go straight to maya bay. There will be very less people and no day trip people yet. You can have the whole beach to yourself and enjoy the beautiful maya bay.

One of the most beautiful beaches that I have ever seen - unfortunately it was very busy and covered in rubbish dropped by lazy tourists, but still a must-do!

The area is totally...

there were 10 longtail boats and 8 speedboats in the bay when we were there, altogether about 500 people, with lots of noise and chaos, no fun

You get what you're willing to do and what you pay for!
Did you book a cheap tour to get to this beach with 100s of other tourists? Don't be disappointed in Maya Bay! Be disappointed with your decision not to book a private boat to this beach at sunrise! Get your butt out of bed for 6am and do...
