That advice about coworking spaces in Chiang Mai was dead wrong

A guy on here told me to just book any cheap room and use the hostel lobby as my workspace. I tried it for 2 weeks in Chiang Mai last month. The WiFi kept dropping during my video calls and the noise made it impossible to focus. I finally moved to a proper coworking spot called Punspace for $150 a month. Now I get solid internet, quiet zones, and actually finish my work by 3 PM. Anyone else get burned by bad digital nomad advice?

Classic "save money" move that ends up costing twice as much in the end. Bet the hostel lobby WiFi was also "free" as long as you don't count your sanity.

People always overhack stuff instead of just paying for the right tool. Cheap shortcuts almost never work out.
