Coliving in Koh Lanta, Thailand
KoHub · Beach coworking and coliving on Koh Lanta, Thailand's laid-back island
The Home
KoHub
KoHub combines tropical island vibes with reliable coworking infrastructure on Koh Lanta, one of Thailand’s most laid-back islands. Since 2015, it has been a go-to for digital nomads who want to swap city stress for coconut trees, clear water, and a genuine community.
The Experience
The daily rhythm revolves around beach, work, and community. Ergonomic workstations with fast WiFi keep you productive, while the island delivers everything else — snorkeling, Thai food, sunset kayaking, and yoga. The social calendar includes regular events, skill-shares, and island adventures.
Who It’s For
Beach-loving remote workers looking for an affordable, community-rich base in Southeast Asia. KoHub’s long track record and strong reputation make it a safe choice for nomads new to island coliving.

Workspace
Work with a Koh Lanta, Thailand Rhythm
Coworking included with reliable internet.
The Vibe
Wake up, grab a 50-baht iced coffee from the street, work through the morning at the coworking desks. Lunch is usually Thai food from a local spot for 60-80 baht. Afternoons split between more work and beach time at Long Beach or Klong Dao. Evenings are communal — group dinners, skill-shares, or drinks at a beachfront bar.
Snorkeling trips to Koh Rok or the Four Islands, renting a scooter to explore the island's quieter south, or joining a Thai cooking class in Old Town.
Living in Koh Lanta, Thailand
Koh Lanta is what Koh Phi Phi was 20 years ago — a proper Thai island with long beaches, no party scene, and enough infrastructure for comfortable living without losing the tropical feel. It's connected to the mainland by bridge (no more ferry drama), has decent roads, and the west coast beaches face sunset.
The nomad community is smaller and more tight-knit than Chiang Mai or Bali. Klong Dao and Long Beach are the main social hubs, while the south of the island stays wild and quiet. Cost of living is extremely low: 40-80 baht for street food, 200-400 baht for a nice restaurant dinner, 3,000-5,000 baht/month for a scooter rental. High season runs November to April — shoulder months (May, October) are cheaper, less crowded, but expect some rain.
Snorkeling at Koh Rok
A national park island about an hour by speedboat with crystal-clear water and pristine coral. Day trips run 1,500-2,000 baht.
Old Town Lanta
The island's original settlement on the east coast — stilted houses, Chinese-Thai shophouses, and excellent seafood restaurants over the water.
Mu Ko Lanta National Park
The southern tip of the island with a lighthouse, rocky beaches, and dense jungle. Worth a scooter trip and a half-day hike.

The Honest Briefing
Fly into Krabi Airport (KBV), then take a minivan to Koh Lanta — about 2-2.5 hours, 400-500 baht. You can also fly into Phuket and take a longer transfer. Get a Thai SIM (AIS or TrueMove) at the airport for about 300 baht with a solid data plan. Rent a scooter on arrival — you'll need it.

Cost of Living
The KoHub Team
Founders
We started KoHub in 2015 because Koh Lanta had everything a remote worker needed except a proper workspace. Ten years later, the island still has that magic — it hasn't been overdeveloped, the community is real, and you can still live well on very little.
Getting There & Around
- Krabi Airport (KBV)2-2.5 hours by minivan
- Klong Dao Beach5 min by scooter
- Old Town Lanta20 min by scooter
Common Questions
What's the WiFi like?
100 Mbps at the coworking space. Koh Lanta's internet has improved massively — the fibre connection is solid for video calls. Mobile data (AIS/TrueMove) works well as backup.
What's included in the price?
Room and coworking access with WiFi. Meals, scooter rental, and activities are separate — but everything is cheap on Koh Lanta.
How do I get there?
Fly to Krabi (KBV), then minivan or private transfer to Koh Lanta. The island is connected by bridge now, so no ferry needed. Total transfer is about 2-2.5 hours.
When's the best time to go?
High season is November to April — dry, sunny, and the most social. May and October are shoulder months with occasional rain but lower prices and fewer people. June-September is monsoon season and many places close.
Do I need a scooter?
Strongly recommended. The island is about 30km long and spread out. Rental is 200-250 baht/day or 3,000-5,000 baht/month. Get an international driving permit before you go.
