Ao Baan Kai, beginning in a place where Haad Rin hills go down downwards, is a haven of the small village laying on a floor of a way, between Thong Sala and Haad Rin. Baan Kai beach, too an excellent place, especially if you search for loneliness or want to admire in good weather Samui. The beach is too wide, and between coconut plantations, numerous hotels and resorts have conveniently settled down.
In free translation, Ban Kai means " a camping village ", named so in days of when gold diggers were in the habit spend here the nights. Today you will not find some naturally any gold, and area around of a beach, still keeps silent and the feeling, pushing to break at coast tent. Small sreams breaks a beach into two half, making border between Baan Kai and Baan Tai.
The most part of a beach is clean enough and rather attractive. Sand is a little rude, and the coast in some places becomes narrow, especially in the east where at small rocky cape, hotel Gold Beach Resort was sheltered.
The sea here decreases very slowly and excitements are very rare, so swim on health, in spite of the fact that here very finely. The coral reef lays in 400 meters from a beach, and in a low tide (from April on November) snorkelling here not always probably. Between numerous structures, long lines of palms and open spaces were stretched, forcing feeling of the greater isolability, than it seems actually, despite of affinity Haad Rin.
