My 2nd stay in Kohub now - I will be coming back again :) PROS: Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, keen to give advice or even go out for a drink or meal with members. Events (day trips/drinks/meals/games etc) happen pretty much every day which you can attend if you feel like it, no pressure. Wifi is excellent, never had an issue at all, faster than mine back in the UK. Air con is great and plenty of desk space and decent chairs. Also free coffee and water, and a fridge full of coke, soda, beer etc. Open 24/7. Kitchens are open 9am – 5:30pm. Food is great, healthy, and you order it on your laptop which means you can have it straight to your desk if you wish. A lot to choose from so you’re unlikely to be bored, and they keep adding new meal options all the time. You can get a package deal which gives you 2 meals a day (with extras), plus an air conditioned room. I personally think this a good deal, the food is great. It forces me to come to Kohub to eat/work if I don't want to waste my money, which I think is a plus point since it means I do more work. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to come here and focus on getting their project off the ground, you don't have to think about sorting out accommodation, or where you're going to go for food. The apartments are in a good location (2 mins walk from the beach) with a few places you can go for breakfast/evening meal, and laundry just across the road, there’s also really good wifi which I don’t think you get in many other places on the island. To get to the Kohub "offices" it’s a short scooter ride, or you can walk along the beach (what an awesome commute!) which takes about 20 mins. The island is literally my favourite place in all of SEA, beautiful beaches, plenty of nightlife, enough amenities (gyms, supermarkets, healthcare etc). Some people are put off by the low season here (if you look at the weather forecast it will say rain 24/7), but after staying here for 3 months during the low season I can tell you this isn't true. On average you'll probably get a tropical shower for about 1 hour a day. CONS: Mosquitoes absolutely love me, so this is a big factor for me. I can’t work outside on the deck unfortunately, if I do I get about 6-10 bites per day. However the air con room I usually sit in looks out into the greenery of the Kohub garden, and I very rarely get bitten in here. The apartments don’t seem to get any mossies at all, maybe because my room is a couple of stories up? I’ve stayed here 4 months in total and I’ve seen a blocked toilet maybe twice, and there are 3 toilets and a urinal to choose from so it’s unlikely to affect your life too much. The water does go (run out/break – I dunno) fairly often, on average maybe an hour a day, but there are big containers of water for washing your hands and flushing when you need them. Power outages happen rarely, but the staff are really quick to kick into action and have the backup generators working (including the aircon) within less than 5 mins.

It was my second time at the KoHub in Lanta. It is a great community, good Coworking with lots of equipment to get stuff done. I liked the food and the daily walk to the beach. Fun in the evening but no must. Highly recommended. Special thanks to Polly.

My wife and I have been digital nomads for two years. We've visited about a dozen coworking spaces in Southeast Asia in that time, and KoHub is by far the best. We're currently on our third trip to KoHub, and we've stayed for 1 month on each trip. Here's a little video I made about KoHub: https://youtu.be/Pjf9nzMuuHE?t=4m24s KoHub is truly a social coworking space: There are lots of events and opportunities to meet other members so the atmosphere is friendly and collaborative, and the staff engages with you on a personal level. That makes KoHub special. You'll understand once you visit! The staff at KoHub is awesome. They will show you around KoHub, introduce you to other members, give you advice on where to stay and eat while on the island, and treat you like family. The facilities are good. There is a huge deck where you can work outdoors in the shade — the furniture on the deck is charmingly made of bamboo — and there are three very large air conditioned rooms with plenty of chairs and desks. KoHub food is delicous and available all day (from about 8:30am to 5:30pm). You order the food on the KoHub member website, and then the kitchen staff will bring it right to your desk. It's a real luxury. There are also shakes, fruit juices, and snacks. Keep in mind: KoHub is a coworking space on a tropical island. Sometimes the power can go out, sometimes the water pipes can clog up, and sometimes the mosquitos outside can be really bad. This is not KoHub's fault, and the staff will do whatever they can to fix the problem. If you have the right mindset, none of these little challenges will bother you, and you will love it at KoHub.

So, the good: neat people congregate here, KoHub organizes lots of events, including weekly dinners, the wifi really is good. The bad: the toilet is unusable. You can't throw toilet paper in but enough people do that it clogs daily & won't flush by midafternoon. The lodging is poor value for money. A very nice guy warned me away because when he arrived he was given the key to a room with a woman *already in it*--*asleep*. When I brought this up with the owner he blamed it on the sleeping woman. Really. The food is great at first. After a few days, if you bought the package, you'll be wishing you could eat anywhere else. Don't buy the package. They remind me of a gym--I suspect they make a lot of their money off of people who don't show up, who prepay and then get disappointed. They take 30% of all refunds, so buyer beware.

I stayed only for three days but it was an amazing experience. I love the open outdoor space and met lots of interesting people. The owners go out of their way to make you feel at home. The food delivery to your desk was one of my favorite things, as well as the proximity to the beach. Ko Lanta is a beautiful and calm island with moderate prices.

Kohub was the best possible introduction to co-working. After quitting the 9-5 and deciding to go on the run as a digital nomad there was no better affirmation of the decision than visiting this place. The co-working community was very welcoming, hosting GOT nights, dinners and sporting events frequently- there was always something to do to meet & hang out with like minded people. The amenities in the space are fantastic, with plenty of room, in what was essentially a zen tropical paradise with aircon, fast internet, food delivered to your desk and as much free coffee as you could poke a stick at. James, the owner ensures everyone is looked after- and created a family environment despite the constant influx of newbies. Koh Lanta itself is the perfect sized island, grab a motor bike & accommodation on the beach and the place is your oyster, with yoga, gyms, a national park and plenty of bars and restaurants its really easy (& cheap) to get into the glorious routine of island life. Cannot recommend highly enough- this place is what dreams are made of!

At first we were working out of the lounge of our hotel, was great but when we found Kohub, we never looked back. It's the most amazing co-working I've ever been too. My daily routine, working in a great environment, surrounded by great people. And when I needed a break I either had a nap, went to the beach (1 minute away) or had delicious and healthy food with the group. We also enjoyed an organized trip to snorkel. Truly unforgettable, we hope to be back soon. Kohub, no better place.

What I love about KoHub is the community- Koh Lanta is like my second home and Kohubbers are like my extended family ! The coworking space is also great, the location is perfect and the wifi is fast! Would totally recommend for digital nomads, especially for solo/solo female travelers as its very safe and friendly island !

Nice place to work and chill, Kohub's employee and James is always there to help and advise you. Every week there are new events/trips for Kohubers.

I had a fantastic time at KoHub in November 2015. I found the island of Koh Lanta a great location, with a great mix of people. HoHub really promotes a great lifestyle, and just 2 minutes walk from the beach, a fantastic setting, and awesome people, who wouldn't enjoy it?! James (the owner), is fantastic, and is extremely hands on in trying to ensure everyone gets the absolute most from their time at KoHub. Koh Lanta has many peaceful beaches, and some brilliant places to eat and drink. Looking forward to returning.

I spent about 4 months on Koh Lanta and in Kohub...longer than expected because I had such a great time there! Not only offers KoHub everything you need for getting your work done (fast internet, delicious food served on your desk), but it also offers a "family". I found a very great, supporting and helpful community there. It felt like being surrounded by colleagues and friends and not by random coworkers. KoHub is ideally located, close to the beach and everything else you need on an island like Koh Lanta. So far for me definitely the best coworking space I've been too!

Tropical KoHub really is a place of its own. Sitting in the shade, watching the big Buddha sitting in the garden, having the most amazing and healthy food...Roger the cat entertaining you...and James and the whole team really are amazing. They are helping you with everything, be it work-related or personal. Of course the Internet connection is very very good, the working places are great (with air con inside or fan outside), Skype boothes inside and in the wonderful garden, but the team makes it really special and very personal by organising trips, parties, movie nights, sport events etc Just go there!!!

I've seen many coworking spaces in the last years but the Kohub has been my favourite.

You should come here if you wanna connect, exchange ideas and work in a tropical environment.

Getting things done and enjoying life! Not just a great work environment, but also an amazing community. You can choose a workspace on the huge outdoor terrace with a beautiful garden view and fans or indoors with air condition. The food is great, the staff very friendly and helpful, the beach right around the corner and Lanta is a beautiful island both for relaxing and partying. I will definitely be back.

I stayed on Koh Lanta for 7 weeks from late January to Early march of 2016. After spending a week relaxing and enjoying some beach time, I turned up at one of KoHub's famous quiz nights and met the current gang of digital nomads that were spending every other day productively killing it in the awesome space that is KoHub. Everyone was so welcoming and easy to talk to and I think this had a lot to do with the sense of community that is encouraged by the owner as well as the staff and in particular the volunteer assistants who act as community managers in a sense. This is one of the primary things that makes the community feel of this coworking space far better than any other I've been to so far, it's the emphasis they put on including everyone not just during work hours but off them as well. No other coworking space that I've been to will have its members and the owner James constantly send out invitations on the private group chat for week end activities or just going for a delicious dinner or hanging out after it gets dark. For the rest, there's not much to complain about. KoHub has the best wifi on the island they are probably the only ones that have a generator capable of keeping everything running during the not uncommon blackouts. Their kitchen serves delicious healthy meals at more than reasonable prices. The free coffee is actually good if you take time to make it that way using their various coffee making devices, otherwise instant coffee is readily available. The location is incredible with the beach just 3 minutes walk away and many delicious yet affordable restaurants both on the beach or on the side of the road. For those reasons and others I won't mention, my time on Koh Lanta and at KoHub make these almost 2 months the best leg of my trip since leaving home 8 months ago! My only complaint (and hence why I rated everything perfect except the "productive environment" is that with so many cool people and events being organized on a daily basis.. and the beach so close you could almost throw a rock at it.. well it can be difficult to stay disciplined and goto bed early. Some people may find that this isn't a problem but truth be told those 2 months were hardly my most productive ;-)

KoHub is a very special coworking space. The main reason for me probably is that it's 5 min walking distance from the beautiful beach on Koh Lanta. So while you are working from KoHub you can always go for a swim in the ocean and watch beautiful sunsets on the beach after a productive day at KoHub. And believe me that you will be productive, because the community is amazing. I made a lot of great friends while working from KoHub and hope to meet them again. What I really liked about KoHub is that they have really delicious food that they prepare freshly and deliver right to your desk — although I have to say that I also loved the communal lunch, where you can always take a break from your work and meet each and every day new like-minded people. I am sure that James (the owner) is always eager to improve KoHub to make the experience for all of us even better. I will definitely be back and am really looking forward to it.

Working in Kohub really feels like working on a tropical island, which Koh Lanta is of course. You can easily walk to the beautiful beach (just 50 meters away) after work. The outside work area at Kohub is surrounded by palm trees and desks are made of bamboo which looks pretty cool. Besides the cool office, the community is amazing as well. With a lot of activities organised by community managers you're never bored. Kohub is open 24/7 and if you ever have to work at night the two cats, Mini and Roger are amazing company!

The coworking space is great. Lots of room, inside and outside to work (depending on whether you want aircon or not). The community is great. It's one of the things that really made the space so good. Lots of activities are planned (like movie night, parties, or dinners). You can order food from the onsite restaurant which is awesome. Also very close to the beach. WiFi was steady and has backups so there was never a problem with internet. The island itself was awesome. Lots to do. Everything is very close together and scooters are a cheap way to get around. Can't wait to go back again.

KoHub has been my favorite coworking space as I have traveled around Southeast Asia. It has a range of work environments (AC/Fan/Indoors, Outside on the desk, garden), plenty of plugs and space, and fast internet. There is a great restaurant on site that makes tasty, healthy food, plus there is free coffee and water. The beach is a 5-minute walk away and makes for a great afternoon break. The people I met at Kohub continue to cross my path in all different parts of the world and are some of the first people I go to for biz advice. It's been a wonderful network to have. Kohub does a nice job of arranging events for members, without being too invasive. Koh Lanta is an incredible island with all the best parts of the Southern Islands: beach bars, quiet spots, snorkeling and diving, treks on the island, great food, Muay Thai, and local culture.
