Working Remotely From A Tropical Island In Thailand

There are definitely coworking spaces. I just spent two weeks working out of Kohub on Koh Lanta. Had a great time and even ran into the creator of the framework I specialize in, he was on the same island. Hung out with some guys working on a Bitcoin startup, some other freelancers. Had a great time.

i guess it's an individual preference, but if i were off working on a lark the last thing i would want is to be surrounded by people who do the same thing as me. i can get plenty of that anywhere on both ends of california.

Work in tech outside of the tech industry for a while. I go to conferences and just breathe in and out for what feels like the first time in months. Just being able to use jargon without stopping to explain it is a wonderful thing.

Hey, I think I met you there, was with my buddy Kevin (looks like an Asian version of Hurley from Lost). Kohub and Lanta was a blast. Hope to see you there next year too.

Yep, that was me! Looks like Kevin is still there, saw some photos of him on the Kohub Facebook page last week.
