Which places (co-working places) do you guys go to work?

[Rachel2023]

I don't want to work from home and am looking for good co-working spaces in Thailand. Where do you usually go? Any recommendations for places with a good environment and reliable internet?

Why dont you want to work from home? Sure does seem easier and cheaper?

my local bar. 

 

but seriously,  it might help for suggestions if you give an area / location near your residence so not too much travel.

I like to work outside. I think it's important to separate the workplace physically and mentally from your home.

Where do you stay around?

Perhaps too broad a question. Are you talking about working outside in Thailand? I don't think there are too many jobs available for foreigners to work outside. Or are you talking about working in an office/business somewhere away from your home?

Perhaps find a place next to that temple your looking for.

+1  Starbuck's, Amazon Coffee, or any one of a zillion lesser known coffee shops in every town, most or all of them offering free wifi.

 

I'd be reluctant to rock up to anyplace that holds itself out specifically as a "co-working space" unless I had a WP.  Though I can't recall anyone ever getting caught out for doing online work without a WP (*), I'd hate to be the first one to get pointed at under some new crackdown.

 

Edit: (*) I mean legal online work.  I have heard of people busted for online scams.

Surely the OP doesn't mean "work" but "checking emails"?

True Digital Park at between Punnawithi BTS and UdomSuk BTS is a good place.  The new building has lots of places to sit and it's free.  

The upper floor at Central Embassy has a large library type area, and I sometimes go there to work in a coffee place.

If you're in Bangkok, this is a good cafe starter list.

There are also more formal coworking spaces.

Good luck finding something

Everybody has their own situation and reasons.

 

An old farang colleague to work at home in Bangkok (could have been anywhere).

 

It wasn't successful because at home 4 young kids all wanting / demanding daddy's attention numerous times every day plus wife asking for 'just need you to watch the baby for 10 minutes', etc.

 

Daddy quickly realized why his wife was so exhausted, he did some research and hired a professional nanny / helper, and daddy went back to the office to work.

I like the one where the owners line up and stare at me the whole time.  Or the one with 300 school kids in it.  Yay.

You could try the Bangkok offices of ASEAN forum 

I heard they employed Bob as a consultant,even had his own corner office with palm plants 

 

I'm only  the toilet cleaner
