Have you ever lived this close to the beach? If so where was it and how much did it cost per month?

YES' but definitely far from where you are and definitely way more expensive than that..That's the awesome part to being where you are..Awesome place and awesome food and awesome price and awesome friendly people and very safe..

Both WIFI and 4G are surprisingly good in Arugam Bay. I'm getting 66mpbs up and 46.5 down right now. Only annoying thing is some places like where I'm staying isn't unlimited data, so I give then an extra $10 to add 50gb whenever it runs out.

@JohnnyFD4 жыл бұрын
Haha thanks for the suggestion. But I don't think there's many fish there as generally when they're good surf/waves, it's terrible snorkeling and diving. It'll be just sand.

Hi Johnny! Glad to see you are safe and having a good time. Everything looks nice, but is the wooden chair in your room not super uncomfortable for doing any work on your laptop that takes more than a few minutes? I just wish most hotels or Airbnb apartments would put in a nice faux leather office chair if they offer a desk.
@JohnnyFD4 жыл бұрын
Even a slightly more comfortable wooden chair would be nice to have. The chair at my desk is actually one I swapped out, as the original matching one was even less comfortable with the backrest being completely straight. At least this one has a tiny bit of angle.
@filip31484 жыл бұрын
This is the biggest problem I struggle with when traveling. I run a remote web agency and work around 6-8 hours a day, which makes a comfy seating position quintessential. My back is already kind of f...ed up so I need to be extra careful. Airbnb’s with an office space need to become a thing. Especially in a post COVID world.

Have you been to Da Nang in Vietnam? I had a really nice room about 3 minutes walk to a quiet beach for only $250 a week with super fast wifi and power/water was an extra $25-30 a month. The room was nicer (more modern and private) than the place shown here too. I'm hoping to move back to Da Nang some day but Tbilisi is top of my travel list - and that's the reason I first discovered your channel!

Quick question, where are you renting your bike from in arugam? I’m paying 900 a day but looking to get it for the month but the people won’t go any lower so I’m looking around. Thanks!
@JohnnyFD4 жыл бұрын
I'm renting it from the owner of my guest house. I've met a lot of people getting it for 700 a day (long term, 1 month minimum) or even as low as 550 lkr a day sometimes. I didn't mind paying a bit more as it's a newer bike.

All the good surf spots, expect for main point which is coal bottom and too advanced for me are 20 minutes away from Arugam Bay. The little surf break behind my house is okay, but it's really small compared to the others. It was 21,000lkr ($113) for the monthly rental.
