About MESTO

MESTO is an art space, cultural hub, community restaurant, and guesthouse on Koh Phangan in Thailand. MESTO is artist-run. Since 2022, we have organized over 1000 free events, bringing together lovers of creativity, workshops, movie nights, open mic nights, exhibitions, concerts, and queer balls at MESTO MESTO features a coworking area, craft supplies, a 3D printer, projectors, sewing machines, art supplies, and several exotic animals that we have rescued and care for. MESTO is a prototype of the future: a space for creativity, a creative home, and a decentralized network of cultural centers. Created by artists, creators, and friends for curious, brave, and kind people.
