I think the whole coffee shop thing is a bit of a cliche.

That's fine and I'm sure you are paying for the signal.

Many digital nomads call Thailand home, and more and more people are choosing Phuket for their so-called “workation,” using coffee shops on the island as an office. The BBC’s Thai reporters spoke to several people on the island who work remotely for companies in other countries. For 34 year old American Andy Lee, he runs his business from a cafe in Phuket.
