Someone should create a facebook group called Nomads over 50 or something where people can connect. <br /><br />I'm assume there are more in Mexico or even Bangkok.

At 65 years old - I am THE oldest digital nomad :) ha ha ha.. so my question is... I was looking at the photos of Koh Hub Apartments and everyone in the pics looked like they were 22 years old :). Since I would be staying for 1 month - in 2 weeks from now..I want to chat with older people.. like me!! What are your thoughts on this topic?? ..and where would you recommend I stay on Koh lanta?

No need to go to Krabi Town first if you are going to the island, they stop once an hour outside the airport (5 minute walk at the main road).<br />My coworking space KoHub was helpful to book that in advance for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972558737034056096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-22664604532223283982016-04-24T23:29:57.390-07:002016-04-24T23:29:57.390-07:00I don't worry about natural undergrowth of pla...I don't worry about natural undergrowth of plants, but I too hate seeing rubbish. Koh Lanta however has sooooo much less than most other places. If you were hated the few pieces of trash on Koh Lanta, you'll HATE places like Malaysia and Bali. <br /><br />The trick to getting rid of it is to support education of locals and setting up reduction or plastic and proper waste disposal.

Sorry to hear you missed your flight with Air Asia, what happened? <br /><br />As for the minivan transfer, sounds about right. I think we had a worse experience because they double the price after 5pm. Same rude service in Krabi through, luckily as soon as we got to Koh Lanta everyone was smiling and super friendly.Johnny FDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606448957561483887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-46155301760090148232015-03-24T19:08:18.800-07:002015-03-24T19:08:18.800-07:00Perfect timing!

And Koh Hub seems already pretty amazing, very chilled and with a great community (by the way, James says thank you for the video).<br /><br />I booked an AirAsia flight from Bangkok to get here, with a minibus connection included, but I missed it. <br /><br />So in the end I took a plane to Krabi, landed at 4.15pm, and bought a ticket for a van to Koh Lanta for 490 bath.<br /><br />The bus departed in 10 minutes. They dropped me at Krabi Town, where I had to wait another 10 minutes for a minivan. The driver spoke no english and was a bit rude, but all the other tourists were laughing about it. Before boarding he asked to see tickets, but none of us had any ticket as we had to give ours to the reception lady at Krabi Town.<br /><br />The whole ride took about 2 hours and a half, including two ferry crossings. The crossing at sunset was nice, and we were dropped directly at our hotels in Koh Lanta.<br /><br />All things considered, it was a fun, cheap and adventurous ride, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.Valhttps://twitter.com/valatwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-88392573177334494362015-03-20T04:54:27.278-07:002015-03-20T04:54:27.278-07:00Awesome Heinz, i'm sure you're going to lo...Awesome Heinz, i'm sure you're going to love it there!Johnny FDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606448957561483887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194848132778607550.post-1534513960861581662015-03-19T03:47:20.597-07:002015-03-19T03:47:20.597-07:00Sounds great.
