Up to Gu Station

Up to Gu Station is a guest house in Ban Tai, Koh Phangan, 150 m from Baan Tai Beach. Its five room types accommodate up to two people each, ranging from private-bathroom rooms to options with shared bathrooms. Air conditioning and flat-screen TVs feature across the room range, with beds including double, king-size and bunk layouts.

Free WiFi is available throughout the property, and a bar is on site. Free public parking is possible at the guest house without a reservation. All room categories have a shower, while the Deluxe King, Superior King and Superior Queen rooms have private bathrooms; the Queen Room and Twin Room have shared facilities.

Ban Tai runs along Koh Phangan's south coast, between Thong Sala and the southern end of the island. Baan Tai Beach is close by, and nearby options include Wat Khao Tham and Baan Tai village. Scuba diving and surfing are among the activities available around the island, while ferries arrive at Thong Sala for onward travel to Ban Tai.

Five room types each accommodate up to two people. Air conditioning and a flat-screen TV are common across the range, while the main distinction is bathroom access: the Deluxe King Room, Superior King Room and Superior Queen Room have private bathrooms, and the Queen Room with Shared Bathroom and Twin Room with Shared Bathroom use shared facilities. Every room bathroom has a shower, with towels, a toilet and toilet paper among the essentials. The two King-named rooms have one Double bed; the Superior Queen has one Large bed (King size).

The two shared-bathroom categories differ in their sleeping arrangements: the Queen Room has a Double bed, while the Twin Room has a Bunk bed. Each option is for up to two people, so the room selection is suited to smaller travelling parties rather than groups sharing a larger room. Three categories offer a private bathroom, while the other two have shared facilities.

Air conditioning is part of the guest-room provision, and each room type has a flat-screen TV. Internet services are also available, with free WiFi throughout the property. A bar is provided on site for drinks during your stay. The premises are non-smoking throughout, including indoor guest spaces and shared parts of the property. Bathroom provisions cover a shower, toilet, towels and toilet paper.

Free public parking is available on site without a reservation, so drivers can use the public spaces when they arrive. The facilities cover room climate control, television, internet access, bathroom essentials, a bar and parking. Guests can make use of the room equipment and the on-site services during their stay, with the non-smoking policy applying throughout the premises.

Up to Gu Station stands in Ban Tai, the long south-coast strip of Koh Phangan. Baan Tai Beach is 150 m away, with Wat Khao Tham 450 m from the guest house and Baan Tai village 600 m away. Ban Tai lies between port-side Thong Sala and the island's southern tip, so the nearby coast, village and temple make distinct stops. The immediate setting is shaped by beach access and the local settlement rather than the busier port facilities.

Thong Sala is about 3 km from the property and is Koh Phangan's ferry port, with boat links from Koh Samui and the mainland. Shared songthaews connect the port with Ban Tai, and scooters are another way to travel between the island's coastal villages. The road to Haad Rin climbs steeply, so allow for the hill route when planning a trip to the southern tip. Free public parking is available on site without a reservation.

Baan Kai Beach is 1.3 km away, and the Night Market is 1.2 km from the guest house. Phaeng Waterfall, 3.5 km away, offers an inland nature stop, while Jungle Flight Adventure Park is 3.9 km away. Scuba diving and surfing are among the activities available around the island. Thong Sala has banks and hospitals as well as the port, while Haad Rin is known for its monthly Full Moon Party. Koh Phangan's driest, calmest months are February to April; October to December are the wettest, with rougher seas on the east coast.
