Description
Hello friends!

A warm welcome from us.

We are a co-working/hotel space with a nice restaurant.

We have been spoiled with the most amazing volunteers already so we have high expectations from our team.

The goal is to create a clean and orderly environment for our guests and help us with online projects

- Dance teacher
- Online marketing
- Art projects
- Help our guests and reception
- video, photo
- volunteers team leader

Age limit is 25 years+ / or being a digital nomad

So generally we are looking for great people to come and help us grow into the coolest place on the island.
In exchange for your skills and time, we can offer you accommodation in Haad Yao and 20% discount in the restaurant.

You will have the most amazing shared room (dormitory style) right over the ocean on the side of the cliff. It’s absolutely stunning and you will hear the waves all night. (You cannot get closer to the ocean unless you’re on a boat)
Plus an amazing experience, great new friends, some of the best sunsets you'll see and a lot of fun. :-)

One last thing, we get a lot of great applications for 2 or 3 months ahead of time and they get lost in a sea of applications. Please only message us, if you're traveling in the next 1 week or we will probably lose your message.

Cheers,
Vitaly

Unfortunately we had to travel almost a day long to arrive here, where the manager (which was also a two-week-long workawayer) had no idea we were arriving that day, and also Vitaly, the owner, was not there. The manager informed us after less that one hour from our arrival, that Vitaly had told him via text messaging that they don’t have any… read more

The best experience I had in all of Asia, was in this Coworking hotel. They made me feel at home from the first moment, I worked in the area of Marketing, Cleaning, painting,Management and promotion. I liked this paradise so much with unique sunsets, that I stayed to live. The only place where volunteers offer real benefits.
