Ao Ban Khai has long been a favourite of many returning visitors to Koh Pha Ngan and is part of the long unbroken stretch of white sand beach that runs from Ban Khai right the way up to Thongsala. Most of the land along the coastline has been farmed as coconut plantation and the area takes on a dreamy desert island feel with palms leaning in to the calm emerald sea. Ao Ban Khai has a broad beach that is protected from the high seas by the rich coral reef that follows the south and west coastline, providing a haven for beautiful and harmless marine life and a great place to go snorkelling. The resorts are generously spaced on the long beach, making it easy to find solitude; and there are also a few beach bars if you fancy a drink under the stars. The fishing village of Ban Tai has some great places to try the local seafood and there are even a couple of party venues if you fancy dancing the night away on the white sand beach.

At Morning Star Resort all of the rooms are less than a year old and are set amongst lush tropical gardens that have been tastefully designed to create a wonderful open natural environment.
