Ban Tai is a village on Ko Pha-ngan, an island in the Gulf of Thailand that is reached by boat from Koh Samui. The hostel sits in the village itself, so the everyday life of the place is close at hand, with a beach and a market within a short distance.

Haad Baan Tai beach is 350 m away, and the night market is 450 m away, a lively spot in the evening. Victory Church is next to the property. Wat Nai, a pagoda 800 m away, and Wat Pho, another pagoda 950 m away, are both nearby, and the Biggest Yang Na Tree is an attraction a little further on. Samui Airport is 17.5 km away on Koh Samui, and the boat crossing from there is the way onto the island.

A day could start on the beach at Haad Baan Tai, continue to the pagodas and end at the night market. Guests can also try diving, snorkelling and hiking, and the property has a yoga room on site, so the village works well as a quiet base for an active stay. The hostel's own private beach and garden are part of the property, so an afternoon can be spent on site.
