Buying coke Koh Lanta

A chance meeting at a festival led to a change in direction and an entirely new business. My first month as a digital nomad flew by, I was still working on a website for my first client and I fell in love with Chiang Mai. A city I end up returning to again and again. Unfortunately, Chiang Mai gets smokey from the crop burning. The normal fresh mountain air gets so polluted during this time of year, it is often the most polluted city on the planet. A stark contrast from the rest of the year. It was time to leave, I heard a lot of nomads head south to the islands during this time to get away from the smoke. I have also heard about a co-working space called Kohub on Koh Lanta. The pictures online were all bamboo huts, island hopping boating trips, beach parties and one of the best communities of location independent entrepreneurs in existence. It was raining, the first time I had seen rain since I left the UK. It was also crazy humid, it was warm in Chaing Mai, low 30s but this was a new kind of heat to me. I was drenched with sweat and rain before I got to my taxi at the airport. This turned out to be a common occurrence, I have since flown into Krabi maybe a dozen times, it feels like every time it is raining when I arrive. Koh Lanta is a two-hour drive from Krabi, or in high season, which it was, there is a ferry that takes around the same time. I opted for the ferry. I got a tuk-tuk straight to Kohub from the docks to pick up my apartment keys, dragging my 20kg of worldly possessions down the side street, I arrived a sweaty mess. The manager showed me around, introduced me to a few people then drove me to my home. I could have walked it in 5 mins. Before I left he insisted that I got a takeaway meal from the restaurant, it was part of my package and he wanted to make sure I had eaten. My stop off point when I need a break from travelling, where I can socialise but most importantly of all, its where my closest travel friends are. Whether its fellow digital nomads, expats or the local community. I feel like I know every person on that island as well as I know anyone. I have never met a web developer before, never met anyone that knows their way around the Adobe suite. Being high season, the place was rammed. It was such a different experience to the other co-working places I have been, and I still have not found anywhere else like it. Kohub is massive on community, each night there is an event, like games night, group meals, movie nights, sunset cocktails etc. Then at the weekend, there is normally an adventure to be had such as snorkelling trips and days out. Everyone is super friendly. On my first day, I was invited out that evening by 3 different groups of people and after a few days, I knew everyone there. Making friends while solo travelling sounds like a daunting venture until you experience it. Everyone is in the same boat, tight friendships happen fast and are long-lasting. Honestly, my social life has never been so full as it is when I am travelling. On Lanta, that is magnified by It gets even more hectic once you return to a place a few times. Another observation I had when I first arrived at Kohub is that the people there generally tend to be successful. While Chiang Mai is full of new nomads trying to work out how to make a living online before they run out of savings, much like me at the time. Kohub seems to attract more established entrepreneurs. Kohub can be found here: Kohub. Now the thing with a barefoot festival is that they still have normal festival toilets, and we all know how bad they get by the end of the night. The soles of my feet will never forgive me after the things I stood in at the toilet tent. I rocked up and sent out a message on the group WhatsApp chat to see where fellow Kohubbers were yeah we have a name and everything. A couple of guys were at the bar buying buckets of Samson coke, I joined them and said hi. We very quickly became mates and hung out daily, we are still mates and still hang out every chance we get. Ketan, a fellow Brit that somehow found Kohub by luck as he was a tourist passing through on his way to Australia, but converted into a digital nomad after discovering the lifestyle while being on Lanta. Three months later he was still there. And Josh, an Australian with his own digital marketing company, he trained in Muay Thai and was staying on Koh Lanta for a whole year. I make friends but not for business reasons. I have seen plenty of people in Chiang Mai network in the hope they will make money from the exchange. I have never seen that at Kohub. Sometimes though, friends offer little bits of advice, and when they do, I listen hard. I have absolute respect for their skills and talents and enjoy listening to them talk business. I went out for a meal a few nights later with Josh, he showed an interest in what I was trying to build for myself. So how the hell are you going to make enough money for hotels and flights? A thousand lightbulbs lit up at once, I realised that I have just been given some serious advice. Advice from someone that knows his stuff, in fact, people pay a lot of money for his advice as he is very well respected. With the passive income from courses, courses that could be made in between website clients, it might boost my income enough to survive and live this amazing lifestyle that I have tasted for much longer then I thought. I named that baby GCodeTutor. Josh was right, damn was he right. If you need pointing in the right direction, give Josh a shout. I met his friend Tommy, the course guy. We also became good mates. We partied, drank Johnnie Walker blue, sang Karaoke and hung out when not working on our projects. On the way back to Krabi when it was time for me to leave for Bali, Tommy also had to leave. We travelled together and chatted extensively about his experience making courses, the issues he faced, how he got over them, what software he used, what hosting platform for the courses was best. He is a huge fountain of knowledge and was excited to share his experiences with me. As a parting gift as we left the boat, he called out, hey, whats ya email address? Its a course on how to make courses. That course kept me company for my 10 days of Bali belly that I will talk about in the next story. I knew what I had to do and how to do it. That course Tommy gave me that tought me how to build courses can be found at Course Minded. You can find his marketing courses at Click Minded he has one hell of a CV.

Tropical co-working with accommodation including 2 meals a day bundled up in a package. AirAsia delivered me to Krabi airport in 2 hours. I had arrived in Koh Lanta. That was the only time I stayed for a month, each time I go back I stay much, much longer. That all changed the first day I walked into Kohub.

Buying coke Koh Lanta

Som's Cookbook. Our World in Koh Lanta! A view of our soon-to-be beach front home on Koh Lanta. I saw the writing was on the wall for the US economy. The time to get out was good and we rolled over the equity in our US house to several properties in Thailand. And this page is about the acres of beach front land we picked up in Koh Lanta, Thailand and plan on making our retirement home in the coming years. We initially traveled to Lanta as a weekend trip to get away to the beach for a bit in We had a great time on the island and basically fell in love with it! In just a year's time, we knew every nook and cranny of the island and found several lots for sale right on the beach on the 'sunrise' side of the island. Since '04, we have picked up over an acre of 'jungle' on the beach. We have now done some basic developing and will hopefully soon have an opportunity to build our retirement home! In addition to the images that follow, log on to our Thailand Galleries :. Mammals of Thailand. Birds of Thailand. Temples and Ancient Sites of Thailand. Reptiles and Amphibians of Thailand. Lanscapes of Thailand. People of Thailand. A landscape image of the land on Koh Lanta. Note the tiny person on the left for perspective. When the tide is out, a laterite-foundation coral reef is exposed. The corner of the property is seen in the right where the retaining wall we installed ends. And another! The gorgeous forest behind the property is actually Koh Lanta National Park and is home to some very impressive wildlife. In fact the very first animal I have seen on the property was a Slow Loris! One of the difficult parts of this property is dealing with the gorgeous vegetation that makes up the forest on the land. While nothing is old growth by an stretch, the forest is about years mature and his a veritable botanical garden! I hate to cut anything! In , we built a driveway. Here is our truck which just so happens to be a bit too large for an easy turn-around The garden has the potential to be absolutely spectacular! And the property has been 'tsunami-tested'! Yes the tsunami that did so much damage and killed so many people in Thailand also hit this beach and basically flooded the forest. But as far as I know, no one was killed on this side of the island. The driveway after a year of neglect. But take a look at that forest! This and the following images are of the views of the land. These are wild mangroves on the beach. The waters and the reef here are part of Koh Lanta Marine Sanctuary. This area is filled with tons of uninhabited islands that we hope to explore in the near future. This is the island right next to ours. Ko Kluang is a lovely, uninhabitated island that we love to kayak to and explore. We have spent by now countless hours relaxing in our hammocks on the shores of the property. The mornings and evenings are very cool with their sea breezes. This is going to be an amazing place to live. One of the original palms that once made up a large coconut plantation back in the 's. We still have two of the trees on the lots but they are now surrounded by a regenerating forest. One of our rubber trees! When these seeds fall to the ground or hit a tin roof, they make a heck of a sound! One of the many unidentified species of flowering plants present on the lots! Like I said, this place is a veritable botanical garden! The botanical garden. There are several spots I plan on just leaving completely alone! One of our neighbors and best friends, 'Mat'. He is our unofficial caretaker of the properties. If something happens, he lets us know and we get it taken care of. About four kilometers from the property is 'Old Lanta Village', which is basically an old Chinese fishing village that was started well over years ago. Here are some monks receiving some 'Tam Bun' from a local. We are able to get our supplies here very easily. Virtually anything we need is available on the island. Som and I discovered 'Otto's' many years ago when we were basically the only tourists on the island during the slow season, and Otto's was the only place open. We have now been regulars albeit seasonal there ever since! Otto's absolutely serves some of the best Thai food anywhere and the beachside dining cannot be surpassed. Dad and Marguerite even bought some of the property on the island as well and have come to enjoy the island experience! They love Otto's too. Who wouldn't Our neighbor and friend, 'Shadow'. Shadow has a definite rastafarian persona and is a very skilled artisan. Here we are one night hangin' with Shadow. After a few hours hangin' with Shadow, this is generally how life appears Cokie and Marguerite strolling the beaches of the Pimalai Resort, one of our favorite 'good bread' stops on the island! This makes for some great birding opportunities! Koh Lanta has an amazing national park that is filled with wildlife. We saw our first Colugo there! Our neighbors a couple km to the south are Sea Gypsies, a unique group of people who find their homes in the islands of the Andaman Sea in such places as Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. What's New for the Smiths? A gorgeous Koh Lanta sunrise as seen from our property. Looking north along the property's beach frontage. Another view. Another view The southern end of the property. Tide is in! Som and the truck! A little sweeping and it's all good as new! The view from the property looking to the southeast toward Trang. The views from the property are spectacular! Our neighbor is a local fisherman. This is his boat. Another view of his boat. Som searching for tiny shells to make in to jewelry. The aerial roots of our own mangrove! Dad enjoying an early morning view of Old Lanta Village. Cokie enjoying an Otto's sunset! An Otto's sunset Another Otto's sunset And another Som getting ready for dinner at Otto's! Hangin' at Otto's! Our friend at Otto's. Campfires every night at Otto's. Cokie and Som walking the rocky shores of southern Koh Lanta. Cokie on a long-tailed boat ride through the Andaman Sea. Cokie and Som on the long-tail. One of the many forest giants in Koh Lanta National Park. Our neighborhood Sea Gypsie village. Our neighborhood Sea Gypsie village and fishing fleet. On a day trip with some friends! We will have to get us one of these thangs! I am such a lucky man In the 'high season' the beaches are incredible.
