Baan Tai bungalows, resorts and hotels
Phangan Cottage has lovely little bungalows
Ao Baan Tai Beach is on Koh Phangnan’s longest stretch of sand and offers a stunning sunset view. The island may be known for its Full Moon Parties, but Baan Tai is set in peaceful surroundings where you often have large areas of the beach to yourself.
Those wanting to be close, but not too close, to the vibrant nightlife of Haad Rin and Thong Sala may find Ao Baan Tai the ideal location. A range of accommodation such as bungalows and resorts are generously spaced out along the beach and cater for travellers on various budgets, while the handful of beach bars make it the perfect place to kick back and relax.
Milky Bay has a great atmosphere and very comfortable mid to high-end bungalows, with a pool, restaurant and many activities to enjoy including a herbal steam room. There are more back packer style bungalows at resorts such as Lime n Soda and Becks resorts, where people relax in hammocks.
As you travel closer to Haad Rin you get to Baan Tai Village, which has an even wider range of Baan Tai accommodation where 500 baht will get you a cosy beach bungalow with a fan and mosquito net. But there are always a few bargains to be founc by booking early through our partner Agoda.
