Smile Hostel Koh Phangan

In Baantai on Koh Phangan, this laid-back hostel sits a short walk from Bantai Beach and within easy reach of Thongsala Pier and the island’s walking street. Haad Rin and the Full Moon Party are about a 15-minute drive away, and ferry connections are close by.

Family-run, social vibe with mixed air-conditioned dorms and a handful of private rooms. Rooms are clean and simple — AC, hot showers, complimentary toiletries and daily housekeeping. Lockers and a communal chill space outside the rooms make it easy to meet fellow travelers.

Grab a drink at the on-site bar or cook in the shared kitchen. Free Wi‑Fi across the property, tour and ticket assistance, car rental and free self-parking for guests. Easy taxi access and locker storage keep things hassle-free — wake up to sea-breeze mornings a short stroll from the sand.

There’s a bar on-site and a shared kitchen for DIY meals. A short walk brings you to local restaurants and food stalls serving Thai and Western dishes, plus nearby market options for authentic island bites.
