Is a coworking space really worth $300 a month or just a waste of cash?

I was in Chiang Mai last month and dropped $350 on a fancy coworking membership. Honestly, the wifi was solid and I met a few cool people, but I could've just worked from my apartment for free. On the other hand, my buddy spent $200 at a smaller spot in Pai and said it saved his productivity. What do you all think, is paying for a space actually worth it or just burning money?

I used to think they were a scam until one saved me from going crazy at home.

Hang on, are we REALLY calling it "saving" you from going crazy? I get that things can get rough at home but we're talking about a subscription service here, not a therapist. My cousin was using one of those meal kit things and said it changed his life because he didn't have to go to the grocery store anymore. That's not saving you from crazy, that's just being lazy about shopping. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I think people sometimes get a little dramatic over basic conveniences.
