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
I had a great experience at KoHub! I purchased a 1 month membership from March to April 2025 with a 27” monitor rental. The facility far exceeded my expectations!
The Restaurant & Cafe’ orders were great & always consistent. So convenient to order right to your desk. Plenty of indoor (A/C) & outdoor seating, quiet rooms & Skype rooms!
The staff & the other KoHub members really make the place!
I highly recommended coming to Koh Lanta & checking this place out! Lots of Social Group Events as well!
This was my first visit to Thailand and the first time I have ever tried coworking. James and Charm are very welcoming and have created something truly special. Kohub has a great community spirit and fantastic facilities. I got involved in many of the activities and this was a great way to meet people. The location is great and close to the beach area and bars/restaurants. I stayed in one of the bungalows which were large and well maintained.
Thank you for hosting me and I will definitely be back next year!

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.
