I’m currently in Penang, Malaysia and I was thinking to head to Thailand next. What are the best islands in Thailand to get some work done? I was considering either Ko Lanta or Ko Phangan because those both islands have coworking spaces. I might need to take some client calls, also video. Is the wifi good enough? Are there any other differences between the islands?
I went to Koh Lanta last year and it had great wifi even in remote areas. I stayed at the Ozone resort and the internet was stable at around 20mbps for download speed. Also went to Kohub but I really didn’t like it as the place wasn’t clean to me (the toilets were clogged but perhaps they have fixed them now).
One of the big downside on this island to me is the road, there are gaps everywhere and sometimes people drive like crazy, I think the road destruction is due to the 2004 tsunami.
Apart from that the island is awesome, I really liked it there and if you’re the kind of person who’s looking for a peaceful island and great people you’ll enjoy it (nightlife is also very present on the island).
I’ve spent quite a bit of time on both islands and like they both for different reasons.
But Koh Lanta wins currently for digital nomads, we had the Nomad Summit island retreat there after the conference this year.
Both islands are nice. They are less mainstream compared to Phuket, Samui etc. but still have pretty good infrastructure. Probably the optimal combination to get things done 
Ko Lanta is smaller than Phangan.
Wi-Fi should be good on both (depending on venue), and you can use mobile internet from telecom provider (such as Ais, True etc.)
PS: Usually March-April are the hottest months in this region.
Ah same question here! I know that koh phangan has for sure good WiFi, but I would like to see ko lanta this time.
I’m arriving in Thailand on the 7th what about you?
My trip to Thailand was quite short this time. I decided to go to Koh Lanta and worked at Kohub…it was great! Highly recommend that coworking space.
I tried Kohub, but enjoy more spending some time in various bars and restaurants with view on the beach and serving fruit shakes, or even lunch. Do you know any place like that with good wifi?
I started the list as I like things my way and I wanted a way to track things that may not be listed anywhere. As I was making the list anyway, its simple to share it for others if its useful.
I find WHA and similar work space finders pretty unreliable outside of the US/Cities. I was using Foursquare for a bit, but the search is pretty weak (for instance “I want a space with AC” I can find on my list in seconds, not on FS, and on Lanta in April, I needed that!).
I also done a list for Koh Samui - http://bit.ly/samuiWiFi - and I’m currently doing one for Chiang Mai, as although there are lots of guides to cafes, theres not many full of the details that I look for…
I spent nearly 5 months on Lanta and started a editable Google Document of cafes with wifi and coffee. It should give you everything you need. Feel free to add to it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your list, thetwopct!
I tried one place that was good, this morning: “Moonwalk”.
And now I’m in a restaurant next to Moloko, in relax bay. I love the spot and their food, but unfortunately my wifi connexion is really bad so far.
I will add it those two to your list!
PS: Don’t you like using apps like WHA (work hard anywhere) ? If so, I would love to know what makes you prefer maintaining your own spreadsheet. Thx
I’m trying to organize my winter 2016 getaway and plan to spend a couple of months working from a beach in Thailand.
So far I have my eyes set on Ko Lanta and/or Ko Phangan as these two seem to offer good co-working spaces and lots of great beaches.
I would love to hear from anyone who has been to either of the two (or both) and what you liked/disliked about them or if you’d recommend one or the other?
Thanks!
I was at both places, both of them are kinda nice in their different way. I don’t remember Koh Phangan having any coworking if really, but i didn’t searched that much. Phangan is a little bit crazy, party vibe. But a lot of places to explore.
Really strange prices on rent property, a lot of cheap and really expensive properites. But middle price is almost absent…
I liked Koh Lanta more, vibe is not so crazy. Good places to eat out. Prices for renting are not that high, a lot of variations for every taste. Great community at Kohub. Cheap eco-friendly tourism -> cave explorations, kayak and etc.etc.
I would def go back to Koh Lanta, not really looking forward to Koh Phangan that much.
Thanks Skat. This really really helpful and confirmed my tendencies towards Koh Lanta! 
Hello World!
I'm an experienced Digital Nomad and after being in Lockdown in Bangkok and Germany for one year I would like to team up with someone to visit a new place. Or just doing some exchange about what destinations would be interesting currently.
I take the virus seriously and still I think we can still be able to take our life in our own hands. So I'm aiming for cities/countries which are not in full lockdown, are not too complicated about immigration (I'm looking at you Thailand, your state quarantine costs like 1k USD and is basically a prison) and is also rather safe regarding the virus. I tend to stick for rather big cities and like culture. I'm not a beach or nature person. I'm pretty flexible about the money topic.
Have you considered Latin America? Interested in your thoughts. I owned a hostel in Bogota, Colombia for a couple years. I hear Medellin is the "hot spot" in Colombia though. Was looking at Guatemala, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, among others.
We are currently in Antigua, Guatemala and its incredible. Would highly suggest a stay here.
Hey everyone,
Looking for blogs by individuals who document their progress/business in South East Asia - ideally Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos - but also Thailand/Myanmar too.
Thank you,
Haiducci
Can anyone recommend a good accommodation website for Chiang Mai?
I’m curious to know how many people learned some Thai before going there. Learning languages is a hobby of mine but I’m very put off by how complex the writing system is, and if I decide not to learn it I’ll probably cross Chiang Mai off my bucket list. I prefer to be at least conversational in a language before I do an extended stay in a country. I’m curious how people who learned no Thai did getting by. And I’m curious, from people who did learn some, if it’s any easier than it seems? Thanks!

Based on Ko Lanta's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
It's basically a party island -- getting work done will require discipline. One who can accomplish that will be rewarded with a paradisiac cheerful enviroment where everyone wants to be happy and enjoy life. In long term, be careful with your emotional life, as new flows of people everyday going in and out might unbalance your way to see the world.

I find Parisians are actually very patient and warm if you at least attempt to speak French; in my experience, most people who complain that they're rude are the ones making zero effort to speak the language. Expensive though and not very easy to meet other nomads.

The historical center is cute, but also majestic and luxurious. You feel the culture at every step. British people are really kind and welcoming! Plus, more than just one, you can enjoy TWO skylines 😍 so many skyscrapers, nothing beats its collection in Europe.

It's a lot more expensive now (2020) than posted. 1-bdr in center is $3,500-$4,000 + $200-$300 for parking + $100-$200 for utilities. Almost impossible to find month-to-month rent, so this is for 1-year lease. Coffee for two + a pastry is easily $20. Dinner for two never less than $50, unless it's fast food (+20% tips are expected) and if you want actually something good it's at least $100 for two. Airbnb is $1

Londoners are quite internationally and ethnically diverse, and seemingly better educated and more intellectual than New Yorkers in aggregate. The city very clean with a stunning mix of modern and historic architecture, and arguably has Europe's best public transit in terms of signage, availability, cleanliness and general efficiency. Meanw
