“Oasis” was always full of guests. The resort’s name seemed magical.
My beloved 14-16 hour workdays in “Oasis,” creating and professionally setting up business blogs, brought me immense joy. But even more delightful were the new acquaintances and friends. I often silently thank fate for that call to Irina Lobanova and Larisa Fedorova.
It was thanks to their invitation to Koh Chang that all these wonderful encounters with interesting and talented people happened.
These were fascinating meetings that smoothly transitioned into lunches. It was fantastic!
And in the evenings, as the sun began to set, the hospitable beauty Suni would almost daily throw parties with traditional Thai food.
As Suni later explained, by hosting parties for all her friends, she was savoring her last days at the resort. You see, Suni had sold the resort to our Dutch acquaintances and was sad to part with this life.
Suni left the resort the same day as us. She went to Germany, while we headed to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Another coincidence!
Later, in the vast city of Chiang Mai, we ran into Suni face-to-face in completely different places. First on a street we’d only visited once by chance, then in a huge supermarket we visit once a week.
This, despite Suni only being in Chiang Mai for a month on business from Germany, while we’re in the city for just a few hours twice a week.
Perhaps you can explain this phenomenon…
In the next post, you’ll learn about the internet on Koh Chang and my typical workday as a digital nomad.
Traveler’s Tip: Cost of lunch at a good island restaurant: average 300 baht (rubles) per person Cost of lunch at a street cafe: average 40-80 baht (rubles) for a main dish
Remember, fellow digital nomads, the beauty of our lifestyle is in these unexpected connections and coincidences. They make our work more than just a job – it’s an adventure!
