A tourist poses at Maya Bay as Thailand reopens its world-famous beach after closing it for more than three years to allow its ecosystem to recover from the impact of over tourism, at Krabi province, Thailand on January 3, 2022. Authorities shut the whole of Maya Bay to the public in 2018, saying coral reefs and beach areas had been damaged by constant tourist activities. But since the start of this year some visitors have been allowed to return. “The sharks have come back, coral reefs are regrowing, and the water is clear again”, Yuthasak Supasorn, the governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, told Reuters.
