'''Ban Tai''' is one of the longest stretches of coastline on Koh Phangan. The sandy beach stretches from the bay next to Thongsala all the way past Ban Kai beach and onto the Haad Rin peninsula. The shoreline runs parallel with Koh Samui offering fantastic views of the island in the near distance.
In the 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.
