It is about 4km and is a hot and steamy walk. A "Grab " Taxi operates like Uber and can be scooter or car. Like Uber the fare is pre agreed so no "aggro" over fares. Suggest down load "Grab" App on arrival. Its what many of the locals use. We found most Taxis OK but booked a car and driver for longer trips on pre agreed price.

Tipping is not the norm and will often be politely refused.
