As soon as you reach the main rd from your villa you can get a Songtaew, Just wave and they will stop and tell the driver where you want to go and discuss a price! it`s not expensive or if you do not want to wave then mostly every Songtaew that goes past will beep at you as they want your business. Shops and restaurants are close! For shopping go to another town as you can buy your normal holiday items from the main high street, a 7/11 and a family mart are close by and lots of bars and restaurants. prices will be cheaper to eat and drink along the high street than on the beach. Hope you have fun like we did..
