Rents apartments himself and writes about remote work on the island

I am a software contractor from Bristol who has rented on Koh Samui since 2020, working from apartments in Chaweng and Lamai with a laptop and a speed-test app open in another tab. Because I rent apartments myself, what I write comes straight from my own searches: what the wifi actually delivers, what a furnished condo really includes, and where the value sits between an apartment and a whole house.
