Worker from here for a week, super nice place. Quiet, has drinks and food if needed. Open through the night. The garden is super nice to walk around while having long zoom calls. Just don’t forget the bug spray if you sit in the garden or in the evening on the outside terrace
Everything was perfect.
Smooth registration process. Multiple devices can be connected to their Wi-Fi which works perfectly.
Free coffee and water.
The place itself is incredible: clean, silent, the rooms have AC, but there’s a whole place outside which was unbelievable.
If you wanna get your work done, this is the right place. One day costs 400 bath and you can stay till midnight!
I was recommended KoHub by many people while staying on Koh Lanta, and now I completely understand why. The space is large, well laid out, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of work spots both indoors and outdoors. Everything you need for a productive workday is there.
Unfortunately, on the day I came to work, my laptop crashed, terrible timing. But what really stood out was the help I received from James. He spent the entire afternoon helping me troubleshoot, personally replaced my hard drive, and searched for a temporary solution that would work while I continue traveling.
I didn’t get much work done that day, but thanks to James’s incredible kindness and dedication, my experience at KoHub was still a very positive one. If you’re looking for a coworking space on Koh Lanta with great facilities and genuinely helpful people, I would absolutely recommend this place.
Great facilities and a productive atmosphere! The connection was flawless, which was essential for my meetings. It felt secure and reliable, easily the best place to get work done on the island, for people on holiday as well as digital nomads.
Great co-working space and community. Everything is extremely well-organized. You can order food and drinks from their own restaurant which is really good. The staff is super friendly. It’s a beautiful and quiet space to work. There are many events organized throughout the week so it’s easy to mingle and meet people. I highly recommend it!
I did not end up using this place, here's why:
1. If you want to use the Wi-Fi, you must go through manually lowering your cybersecurity settings. You must first create a profile for yourself on their website, provide a lot of personal information including your job details and photo. Then there is an extensive instruction manual on how to sign up for the Wi-Fi on both phone and computer. Again, both of them required manually changing permissions that you give to the network. Im no cybersecurity expert, but my alarm bells are going off
When I refused to use the Wi-Fi and told them I would use my hotspot, I got a weird reaction.
This is the most important bit that I'm trying to say: I do not think that it is safe to use the Wi-Fi in this place.
2. I assumed that this was a 24-hour place. I arrive to work late at night on a 1-day pass. I work with Europe, and enjoy working in the evening. I had visited this place before and had gotten a tour. I arrived at 11 pm and I just wanted to pay the money for using the co-working space.
One guy came out to the reception, he didn't speak English. He called the manager who showed me the place before at 11 PM. She told told that I should come at an earlier time when there is English-speaking staff at the desk. I asked if this was a 24 hours establishment or not? I was told yes, but I must still come at earlier time.
I don't like being told when I should work. I found this treatment condescending. If you say that you function 24 hours, you should mean it.
3. This is what I heard from other people too and felt myself during the tour: endless rules.
You can't have calls in the main working room. So, if you do it on your computer, you must take your equipment outside...?
If you're not a member you're not allowed to take part in community events which happen in public spaces outside of the cowork (?)
Other visitors told me that the staff constantly watches over what you do over security cameras. I don't know about this one, could be a rumor.
RE: establishment's response — it is true that I can't vouch for what happens internally regarding community rules or cameras.
Regarding the rumors, I speak for my own experience and what others told me.
The space is beautiful bad probably among the most I have been to.
The topup system is not practical though. Cash/card payment should be possible
Good co working space, working surrounded by nature. Wifi is very very good and reliable food is good for a good price. The lady at the reception is wonderful! She helps you with everything and is always smiling.
They also do some events but can’t give an opinion since i did not have the time to join
Maybe add some snacks in the fridge for the night workers or some pre made salads or something
Keep up the good work
