Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia - Maya Bay (Koh Phi Phi Leh) (Part 17)

In this episode we visit the second largest island in the Koh Phi Phi archipelago in Thailand, Koh Phi Phi Leh. We stop at the amazing Pileh Bay and spend the day at Maya Bay, famous due to the unwanted notoriety that came with the movie "The Beach' in 2001.

Controversy arose during the making of the film The Beach due to 20th Century Fox bulldozing and rescaping of the natural beach setting of Koh Phi Phi Leh to make it more "paradise-like". The production altered some sand dunes and cleared some coconut trees and grass to widen the beach. Lawsuits were filed as many believed the damage to the ecosystem is permanent and restoration attempts failed.

The music is written and performed by Guilherme Aguiar.
