My $200 coworking membership in Bangkok was a total waste

I signed up for a fancy space near Thong Lo thinking the fast wifi and networking would boost my productivity, but the constant noise from the open layout actually wrecked my focus for three weeks straight. Turns out I work way better in random coffee shops or my apartment with a cheap noise-canceling app and a solid hotspot. Has anyone else found that expensive coworking spots just don't live up to the hype?

Three weeks of noise for $200 sounds like a nightmare honestly.

Yeah three weeks of that noise would drive me absolutely insane. $200 honestly doesn't seem worth it when you could just buy a cheap white noise machine for like $20 and call it a day. Plus you'd get to actually sleep in peace instead of listening to cars and trucks all night. No way I'd put up with that just to save a few bucks.

Wait, am I the only one who actually LOVES the buzz of an open coworking space? That background noise is like white noise to me, it KEEPS me from getting distracted by every little thing in my apartment.
