The coworking space membership I swore off, now I'm stuck on it

I spent 2 years hopping between cafes in Chiang Mai, convinced coworking spaces were just overpriced desks with bad wifi. Then last month I had to take 4 client calls in one afternoon, and the barista at my usual spot started charging me for every refill plus the dirty looks... I broke down and bought a 10-day pass to a place near Nimman. It was $120, which hurt at first, but the quiet rooms and reliable AC made me close two deals I'd been dragging on. Now I'm trying to figure out if the monthly plan at $260 is worth it or if I just got lucky with that one week. Has anyone else caved on this after swearing it off, or am I the only one who flip-flopped this hard?

That "$120 hurt at first" part really hit home. I did the exact same thing in Bali last year, swore I'd never pay for a desk, then caved after one terrible cafe experience where I spilled coffee on my laptop. The monthly plan is a gamble, but honestly, if you closed two deals, it already paid for itself.
