Ban Tai Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Ban Tai is one of the longest stretches of coastline on Ko Pha Ngan. The sandy beach stretches from the bay next to Thong Sala all the way past Ban Kai Beach and onto the Haad Rin peninsula. The shoreline runs parallel with Ko Samui offering fantastic views of the island in the near distance.

    In high season the coastal strip offers spectacular sunsets which are particularly awesome at full moon. At low tide almost the entire coastline can be walked.
