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 & Inmarsat Ship to shore systems)
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

5. 2023 it moved to where the former Bank of Ceylon was located (new systems)

6. 2024 It moved to the brand new Mezzanine Centre in the Portcullis Drive Way, Siam View
With unmatched speeds and permanent reliablity.
