Coworking space vs coffee shop for 6 months in Chiang Mai
I spent my first 3 months in Chiang Mai working from coffee shops. Saved about $150 a month but the internet was hit or miss and I always had to buy something. Finally tried a coworking space called Punspace for $100 a month. Way better wifi, free water, and I got more done in less time. But I did miss the random conversations with locals at the coffee shops. Has anyone else switched back and forth and found a middle ground that works?

Got a buddy who tried both in Chiang Mai last year. He did coffee shops for a month then switched to Punspace and ended up buying a day pass to a coffee shop every Friday just to get his social fix. Said the coworking space was way too quiet for him, like a library with laptops. The coffee shop regulars started remembering his order after a few weeks, that was the part he missed. His middle ground was working from the space Mon-Thu then camping out at a spot called Ristr8to on Fridays for the buzz. Worked for him but he's also the type who can't sit still for more than 45 minutes.
