KoHub is Our Favorite Place to Work in Krabi

Kohub-Krabi

KoHub is a spacious coworking space located on Koh Lanta island, easily accessible by the local ferry. It is about two hours away from Krabi Town and right across the street from Phra-Ae Beach. Whenever you get tired of sitting in front of your computer, you can take a quick break and go for a swim. The owners of KoHub obviously counted on this since the venue offers showers where you can rinse off before getting back to work.

And that is what KoHub is all about — the perfect blend between a modern environment equipped with high-speed internet and the tropical paradise that Krabi claims to be. What’s more, they have launched Project e.Ko Hub with the vision to become the most environmentally-friendly and sustainable coworking environment by 2022.

So what is it about KoHub that makes it our favourite pick? Most importantly, their internet is above all standards for Thailand — it even works during island-wide power outages. The venue is completely optimized to meet your every need — from complimentary beverages to ergonomic chairs, tasty food, an available printer, scanner, copy machine, plug adapters, and Skype booths. Their pricelist includes different packages tailored to everyone’s needs and preferences. In short, whatever you want access to during your workday, odds are, you’ll find it right here.

The one thing that KoHub doesn’t have are standing desks. In case you’re traveling to Krabi and want to work from KoHub, we suggest bringing your travel stand desk with you.

Lekker Cafe Is the Runner-Up on Our Krabi Coworking Spaces List

Lekker-Cafe-Krabi

Lekker Cafe’ is located in Krabi Town itself, which makes it easily accessible for those of you planning to stay in the town. There are multiple supermarkets, grocery stores, and restaurants in the vicinity. Lekker Cafe’ also serves food, so you might not even need to leave the space during your workday.

Something you might like about Lekker is the fact that they offer a wide range of items on the menu — including vegetarian-friendly meals — at affordable prices. There is also an outdoor area where you can smoke, and most tables have easy access to electrical outlets.

As Lekker is a blend between a restaurant and a coworking space, there are certain drawbacks. For instance, not all desks and chairs are comfortable enough for several hours of work. It can also get somewhat loud, as some people come here to mingle, not to work. (daveseminara.com)
