Got questions or suggestions? <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">Send them to us</a> and we'll have Claire answer them for you.</i> <p> <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/La+Laanta+Hideaway+Resort/local/1422"><b>La Laanta Hideaway Resort</b></a> embodies its middle name. Getting there requires traversing narrow, pothole-covered dirt paths, then descending down a &#147;road&#148; that more resembles a vertical climbing wall than anything intended for vehicular travel. The trouble of getting there makes it a true hideaway.<p> Located on Bamboo Beach, Koh Lanta&#146;s southernmost beach, it is also the closest hotel to the island&#146;s national park, making it perhaps the most isolated. The island&#146;s mountains serve as a backdrop. ced138 2009-01-06T12:02:03-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
