Great video! I’m moving to Thailand in a couple weeks and this has been more informative and useful than most of the the other videos and resources I’ve seen. I think a lot of that is down to this being a much less self centred / biased perspective - and by that I mean that most other videos seem to be focused heavily around personal experience rather than research. Thanks man 🙌🏽

Thank you MX TW I am happy this was helpful. Tried to consider perspectives from others for this one. Some people love Koh Phangan for working remotely. For me, it was okay but lacked convenience and comfort to be most productive in regard to business. For Koh Phangan, I enjoy it for a 5-day visit but not my top pick for long-term working remotely.

So nice to see all those familiar places and faces !!!

Congrats on your new series of Thailand videos. Great contents. You always put in a lot of dedication in your work. Cheers

Su, thank you so much. As soon as travel restrictions are lifted Taiwan will be featured again !!

Thanks for the honest review! Made me realise going back to KP to remote work after 10 years is not the forward journey answer! Cheers

Hey man, awesome job on this video showing the pros and cons from multiple different perspectives. We'd love to come and give the island a try someday for remote work!

What location would you stay on the island to work? I'm looking for somewhere with nice beaches that's got remote working cafes/areas. So really looking for somewhere with a bit of a vibe.

Luke, I enjoyed the northwest section of Koh Phangan the most - for places to work from, food spots, and convenience. With a scooter it was convenient to stay near Salad Beach and ride south on the interior road which is in better condition compared to the coastal one.

What's the average wifi speed in mbps? I watched this video just for the wifi and they breezed over it 2 seconds with no real info....

Matt, thanks for your comment. While working from Koh Phangan my WiFi was mostly my phone's hotspot and Thailand's 4G network. This was more dependable compared to my condo. And, it is only $30 US monthly, unlimited. There are good co-work spots, but not sure about their speeds as I worked mostly from coffee spots and where I stayed. An issue can be, the rolling electricity blackouts.

still... 500 bht for 1 hour .. when the daily wage is 500 bht for 8 hours work. not so cheap. I wonder if that is a farang price!? because I would be hard pressed to believe if local thais pay 500 bht an hour to learn Muay thai what I find in thailand is there are two prices.. foreigners price and thai prices.. which is fine.. yes, 500 bht an hour is cheap for US.... but slowly what happens is expat hangouts become similar to home prices and can start to get expensive.

that is one hour private class, in europe a private can cost 60-100 euros!

As it the inspiration for the beach ? I don’t think so.

music is annoying

Can’t hear people talk, stupid loud music😂 not sure why people put music on. It’s not a night club. It’s a KZread channel.people want to know and learn not listening to music. I’m talking about 99% of KZread channels.
