A simple, well-rated resort stay for travelers who value location and a calmer base over full-service extras.
Kiri Tawan is worth a look if you want a well-rated Baan Tai stay with quick taxi access to the Full Moon Party without sleeping in Haad Rin itself.
Baan Tai sits on Koh Phangan’s south coast between Thong Sala and Haad Rin, which makes it a practical middle ground for getting around. Staying here usually means less noise than Haad Rin, but you will still rely on taxis or a scooter for party nights.
Kiri Tawan is a 2-star resort in Baan Tai, Koh Phangan, with a strong guest rating of 9.2/10 from 144 reviews. The main reason to book it is simple: you get a south-coast base that sits between Thong Sala and Haad Rin, so getting around this part of the island is fairly straightforward. For Full Moon Party trips, that matters. Baan Tai usually feels less intense than staying directly in Haad Rin, which suits travelers who want a bit more breathing room once the night is over.
The trade-off is transport. Haad Rin is about 5.1 km away, so this is not the sort of place most people will walk to and from after a party; the listed walking time is 1 hour 21 minutes. In practice, it makes more sense for people planning to use taxis or a scooter, with taxi time estimated at around 11 minutes. That setup works well for couples, friends, and budget-minded travelers who want easier access to the Full Moon Party but do not need a full-service resort or nightlife right outside the door.

Distance to Full Moon Party
The Full Moon Party is close enough for a short taxi ride, not a realistic walk for most people. This setup suits travelers who want to party in Haad Rin, then return to a calmer Baan Tai base afterward.
