Was so pleased I have booked to stay here on the recommendation of a friend... a cool Canadian owner, decent dorm rooms, lockers provided, good value breakfast, nice social area. An ideal place to meet people to go to the Full Moon Part with - very social. You'll have a good time staying here.

I had a great time staying here for the full moon party. Scott has a great hostel with a really social & laid back vibe. I also had a great time the 4 nights before doing my PADI open water diving on the island of Koh Toa with Scott, which i can't recommend more. Baan Tai itself is little bit... More

I had an awesome time baan tai backpackers, highly recommend it for full moon even though it's not in busy haad rin. The hostel had a great atmosphere for the whole time I stayed and really couldn't fault it. The rooms were some of the best I have stayed in and the common area downstairs was great. The owner Scott... More

baan tai is a great hostel, stayed here for fullmoon and would defiantly recommend it, don't stay on haad rin it's slightly crazy! The party's In The common area are great, amazing people to meet its really open and friendly!

Rooms are clean and well-equipped (A/C, balconies, spacious bathrooms), there are useful facilities in the common area (TV, books, computers). Staff is helpful re renting bikes, there's a great fish&seafood restaurant on the opposite side of the road. The location is not the best though - it's adviseable to hire a bike and ride to nicer beaches or to town.... More

We traveled Koh Phangan in March 2013, and stayed in Baan Tai Backpackers. Great place to stay. Feels more like a home than a hostel. Scott and Ae are great hosts. In this place you basically feel like you are a part of Baan Tai Backpackers family. The location is very convenient, close to the village of Thong Sala (10... More

Great hostel, great owner, great atmosphere. Stayed here for half moon party and played drinking games etc and painted ourselves with UV paint. he told us best ways to get around the island, helped us hire peds and told us places to go etc.

I stayed at Baan Tai Backpackers for the Half-Moon party a few months back and couldn't have asked for anything more from Scott and his setup! He gave me and a friend great recommendations for food and things to do on the island and tips for getting around that were super helpful. He even arranged for a motorbike to be... More
