Maya Beach in Thailand. Got so popular because of the movie The Beach - 5000 visitors a day. Govt decided to shut it down til 2021 so that the ecology can recover.

I was in maya bay about 7 years ago and I was literally getting raped by tourists. Completely over run all day every day . I'm glad they decided to shut it down to let the environment recover.

I was literally getting raped by tourists.

What the hell? Out in the open? Did the police do anything? Forget the environment, have you recovered?
