The co-working space in Chiang Mai charged me $400 for a year and I found out why it's empty
Walked past this spot near Nimman three times, always saw maybe 2 people inside. Asked the owner about the membership price and he showed me the books. He rents desks to remote workers from China who pay in bulk but never show up. They use the address for visas. So the place looks dead but pulls in cash. No wonder my daily pass felt weird, the real customers aren't even there. Has anyone else run into fake occupancy at these places? How do you tell if a space is actually worth joining?

I ran into something pretty similar with a gym back in Austin. It looked packed from the outside but half the members were just paying to keep the locker room key for mail. The tell for me is always the vibe at 2pm on a Tuesday, if nobody's actually working or talking, the place is probably a front.
