Chiang Mai's co-working boom vs the quiet cafe scene, which one wins for focus?
I spent 3 weeks testing spots around Nimman, from packed co-working spots like Punspace to tiny cafes with 2 hour limits. The big desks and fast wifi are great, but the constant networking chatter killed my deep work sessions. Meanwhile, a quiet cafe near the old city cost me $2 a day and I finished 40% more client projects. Has anyone else noticed that paying for 'community' actually cuts into your real productivity, or am I just too antisocial for this scene?
