However, some visitors complain that the beach can easily become overcrowded by families and kids, and during full moon, half of the beach disappears. Additionally, some visitors note that the water may not be suitable for swimming due to green algae appearing after a while.
Visitors to Ban Tai Beach often stay at the nearby Mimosa Resort, which offers easy access to the tranquil beach setting. Many also choose accommodations in the Mae Nam or Bang Po areas, which are close enough to enjoy Ban Tai while exploring the broader attractions of Koh Samui.
