If I was single, I would go to Koh Kood or Koh Phayam, and live in a beach bungalow again for awhile. Back to basics.

 

I did Koh Phangan 3 monts post covid, and it was great.

Cant recall any of those places had bad internet, but Im not doing any online work, so? 

 

Im not picky about internet connection, as long I can stream tv and movies on my lap top, Im happy. 

I meant Ko Phangan, did you have internet at the beachfront?

My next neighbour working as an online teacher, so I guess it was good enough. But I did not stay beach front there, just up the hill 300m  with beach view

Pattaya has everything, look no further. Ignore the bashers; they know only a few streets. Large, diverse area; choose your lifestyle.

Pattaya and Chiang Mai is the budget options, but offers at least great restaurants, sports bars, some cultural opportunity, and also destruction on an healthy mind
