Review of the Khao Lak Phi Phi, Maya Bay, and Khai Islands day trip, with honest advice on timing, crowds, snorkeling, transport, and value.
“Maya Bay Aufenthalt war okay, hätte der zweite Tagespunkt sein sollen. War bei uns zum Schluss. Schnorchelplätze waren katastrophal, da das Wasser zu tief und zu dunkel war. Aufenthalten Monkey Beach und Ko Phi Phi viel kürzer als angegeben. Khai Nai Aufenthalt zu lange gewesen gleich zu Beginn. Verpflegung war in Ordnung.”

“We feel misled by this whole trip. Transfer time from Khao lak says 1 hour (pier not listed) but was actually 2+ hours (w/o traffic). The van had engine trouble so was an hour late picking us up...
