MESTO

Art. Food. Community. A cultural hub on Koh Phangan β€” and beyond.

About MESTO

MESTO is a cultural space, community restaurant, and artist-run guesthouse on Koh Phangan, Thailand. We host workshops, queer balls, cinema nights, open mics, and more β€” over 500 free events since 2022. Our space includes a coworking zone, DIY tools, 3D printer, projectors, sewing machines, art supplies, and resident animals.

MESTO is a prototype for the future: a maker space, creative home, and a decentralized network of cultural hubs. Built by artists, creators, and friends β€” for the curious, the bold, and the kind.
