Ban Tai Beach, Koh Samui (Bang Por) | Koh Samui Recommended Beaches

Ban Tai Beach, on Koh Samui's northern coastline towards the western end of Bang Por beach, is well-known to Koh Samui locals as one of the most picturesque beaches on the island. Not too be confused with Baan Tai beach on the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan, this quiet beach offers incredible views towards Koh Phangan, beautiful clean sands, great swimming (also for small children) and reef-filled waters that create wonderful shades of blue, turquoise and green.

By Beach Resort (see photos) is a great place to relax and there is also a little beachfront reggae bar a few minutes walk away. You can also find several other small resorts further along the beach to the west 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These photos were all taken at By Beach Resort which is located adjacent to the Lotus Terraces - a boutique luxury beachfront villas development. To get here, drive through Maenam and towards Bang Por. You will pass a school on your right and a temple on the left just before the turning. There is a small semi-permanent road with signs for both By Beach Resort and The Lotus Terraces (blue and white) displayed at the road entrance.

The Boat Bar, Bangrak - Recommended Bars / Restaurants, Koh Samui

The Boat Bar is located next to the Seatran Ferry Pier towards the eastern end of Bangak Bay. A lively bar and restaurant with a nice beer garden at the rear with beautiful views of Bangrak Beach and Koh Phan Ngan Island.

The beach area next to the beer garden is a little messy as it's used by local fisherman to store their nets and boats but the views are wonderful.

The Boat Bar is a great place to relax with a few drinks and it also offers a menu of Thai food and Western favourites. Alternatively, grab one of Akim's Kebabs or wander along to nearby Catcandoo for some of their famous BBQ ribs.
