You can coordinate sharing on the XMPP channel, if you're not already planning to join with a small group.

Some people in the group have expressed a preference for the Phra Ae (aka “Long Beach”) area for accommodation and gatherings. Previous non-hackerbeach episodes usually centered around this area. It has a popular coworking space (kohub) which is good for concentrated work and socializing and a ton of nice beach bars/restaurants to spend the day with a laptop, such as the funky fish.

There are plenty of options to stay in Phra Ae and it’s easily reachable by scooter (which is the preferred mode of transport for many) from Klong Dao beach to the north and Klong Kong beach to the south which are two alternative favourable areas for accommodation.

== ATMs ==

ATMs are available at convenience stores and are safe to use but will add a small fixed surcharge for withdrawals making it more economical to withdraw higher amounts.

Credit cards are accepted in many places but cash is still preferred in the smaller restaurants and food stalls.

Currency is Baht (THB) which is widely used. Some places will accept $ or € but it’s not as common as in other places.
