The Center moved a few times, to different spaces, but always within the Old Siam View Hotel premises:
1. 1998 it was a converted Bedroom, 1st. Floor (Dial-up Modem)
2. 2000 It was where the new Brandis Boutique is now (SLT lease line @ 90,000 Rs./ month!)
3. 2001 onwards it was a huge Internet Cafe where the New Clear Point Supermarket is now
Back then the use of the systems was totally FREE to all locals – sponsored by the Siam View
4. 2022 It became the German managed Nomads Coworking Space, Arugam Bay
