Excellent service and very well equipped coworking place. The environment is so peaceful but also motivating to work. I would recommend this place to anyone working remotely. Also, there is a lot of choice for food and drinks to order.
Very neatly organized with almost every request and accessibility managed online. The setting feels like working in a tropical library so mosquitoes are expected but there is repellent prepared. I used the call room at night for an online meeting but exciting voice from the next call room could be heard clearly. This situation could have been avoided if they had set up call rooms at different corners of the room.
Came here as some friends we've made at other coworkings said this is the best they've ever been to and my conclusion is that I beg to differ. It all started off sour when I made the mistake of booking it 5 months in advance, and 1 month later asked for at least a partial refund (as travel plans changed) and they wouldn't budge. In order to motivate me to purchase the 2x 1 month coworking+coliving pack, they said places are going away fast, and based on this I was thinking they would surely be able to provide a refund and find other people in 4 months.
I've been to coworkings where I had to change plans 3 days before and they accommodated this. I feel that this was just greedy.
The coworking is not too bad, very good facilities, tho there are so many rules everywhere. It feels sterile and inhospitable.
Food is tasty, but portions are small and way too salty (curries). The light inside is very low and it made me wanna go to sleep, which is not something you want at a coworking.
Staff was nice and I appreciated that :)
I bet that had it not have been for the first impressions AND if i had gotten more involved in the community activities, there is a chance i would have enjoyed it. But there are more fun and enjoyable coworkings in SE Asia, for sure.
All in all, cannot recommend unless you're alone and relying on the community to make your stay on Lanta pleasant.
Loved this space. Well located next to Long Beach the best beach on the island and one of the best places in Thailand. I was in Lanta for 2 weeks, would start the day with a walk on the beach from my hotel (gooddays) to Escape Cafe in the mornings and come to KoHub after sunset to continue work in the evening. It was paradise. Charming and the team were great. The space, programming and app are well designed to foster community. Met some nice folks and played some Zelda on the nintendo switch at nights, always wanted to play. Also great food service that you can order from the app straight to your desk, healthy tasty and great prices! Thank you so much for building this place and taking care of it. Inspiring. Hope to come back.
Found this place researching co-working spaces in SE Asia, when it stood out with glowing recommendations. Went to Ko Lanta just for that and it lived up to the hype and more. Great location, amazing staff, stable connections and most of all it was great to meet such a lot of awesome people working and hanging out there! Already considering when and how I can come back, Thanks James and Charm for creating this space

Great place to work, chill and meet people. We worked here for 2 weeks and it was amazing. It's close to the many restaurants and beach is less than 10 minutes away. They have a really good coffee and food and smoothies are also great. I hope we will be back :)
