How to travel around the Island from the villa
You will find many enjoyable things close to the Villa with in easy walking distance, how ever the Island is around 35 km long so for a stay renting a car, motorbike or Tuk Tuk would be advised. You can hire them on daily or weekly basis and the Escape Cabins manager will be happy to help and organise these rentals for you when you arrive on Koh Lanta.

If you are not comfortable with a bike or car then you can easily travel back and forth on the Island by using the local Tuk Tuk drivers. These can be a lot of fun and the locals with there friendly manner will entertain you as they go. How ever even after negotiating a good price this option does start to become expensive as each ride is charged per person. To find a taxi driver just wait next to the road and they will stop instantly. When you are in Saladan the main Koh Lanta Shopping area, if you walk out of the centre there are many queing up to take you home. How ever later at night this service can become sparse and getting home from a party can become a challenge.

Things to do on Koh Lanta
Whether you are travelling with friends, a romantic couple or a family with small children Koh Lanta offers many activities for you to enjoy. Take a day Kayaking, ride on an Elephant, enjoy time at the monkey school or squirm at the snake show. Go Deep Sea fishing in the day for Marlin and Barracuda or at night you can fish for squid. A Golf driving range is at hand to keep your swing in or try something new like Yoga, paddle boarding or windsurfing if the winds are right.

If you really want to get in to the culture you can enjoy an evening watching Muay Thai in one of three Koh Lanta stadiums or get your tongue around the language with a Thai for beginners class. Koh Lanta also offers amazing natural beauty with two Caves to explore and a National park full of virgin rainforest with wild monkeys not forgetting a waterfall in the green season and a butterfly farm.
