2 Months on the White Lotus Island in Thailand

Anastasia Marie

I spent two months in Thailand, living as a digital nomad on the island of Koh Samui — yes, the one that was featured in White Lotus Season 3. And  I found a hidden gem: Lamai, a magical little town that still feels deeply Thai and hasn’t been completely overrun by mass tourism.

This episode is part travel diary, part digital nomad guide. You’ll hear my wild stories (think full moon parties, tropical rainstorms in the back of a pickup truck, and mushroom trips), but also my best tips if you’re dreaming of traveling to Thailand or setting up in a digital nomad community.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • Why Lamai, Koh Samui is my secret paradise
  • My home at Amy Village — the co-living space that made my entire trip, complete with a pool, co-working space ( DM me at @culturecultshow to be put in touch with William the owner to book) 
  • My go-to markets
  • The Full Moon Party experience on Koh Phangan — the good, the bad, the fire ropes
  • Tattoos, temples, and why Thailand might just be the happiest place on earth
  • 🧘🏽 The beautiful contradictions of Thailand: spirituality, hedonism, kindness, and freedom all in one.

👉 If you’re planning to travel to Thailand or curious about life as a digital nomad in Koh Samui, DM me on Instagram @CultureCultureShow. I can even connect you directly with William and Sunny at Amy Village so you don’t pay Airbnb prices.
