Phuket Wild Fantasy : Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay

The trip to Phuket is incomplete without having a day out at Phi Phi island, Maya Bay, and Blue Lagoon :) The best time to visit Maya Bay is between November and April during the high season when seas are calm and access to the bay is easy.  Here is a small video of my trip : I would suggest not to purchase this tour from hotel or airport as it's too expensive.
