I'm Writing This From A Ball Pit

I almost hate to tell you about this, because I want to keep these balls to myself.

But, I don't want to be a selfish jerk, so I decided to share.

One of my favorite things about Chiang Mai is there are so many hidden gems all around the city just waiting to be discovered.

You can find a lot of them just by walking around and getting lost... which is perfect for me because I'm directionally challenged, and my GPS is directionally challenged, too (so I'm kind of a lost cause, even with GPS... 😆 see what I did there?).

I'm kind of glad I don't know what the heck to do with a map, though, because getting lost has led to some of the best adventures. Like that time I got lost in the jungle.

Anyway, I was looking for the way home one day, and I happened to walk by this place called "Pencil Cafe" and just had to go in. Because who can say no to a ball pit and plush pencils?

So, I told some friends about it who also work online, and we went together and made a work day out of it. #AdultingRealHard.

This is us with laptops to prove that we're doing all the productive things:

Pro Tip #1: If you want to increase productivity, science has shown that you should work while laying down in this position:

Ok, we didn't get anything done. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, silly.

What can I say? It's really easy to get distracted when balls are involved.

Pro Tip #2: When working from a ball pit isn't working... just have a photoshoot instead.

Or hit your friends with pencils.

It's really all you can do since you know, work is obviously not completely on the table anymore.

Speaking of on the table...

Guess what cool thing they put on our table at this awesome little cafe?

Can you guess? Do you know what the heck this thing is?

This drink is called the Skyfall. Also known as cotton candy on a stick floating over coffee.

It's called Skyfall 'cause the heat from the coffee melts the cotton candy into your cup.

The sugar also gets all on the rim of your cup, too, kind of like the salt on a margarita glass, only a cotton candy version for coffee.

This is what it looks like when it's melting:

The best way of putting sugar in your coffee ever!

I never want to go back to the old outdated method of opening up a pack of sugar and pouring it in. Borrrringggg.

You can also pour your creamer through the "cloud."

(Sorry about the picture quality on most of these. I'm not going to lie, I took some screenshots from a Snapchat I took and that turned out to be a bad life choice. Don't be like me, guys. Make better life choices.)

If you don't want coffee, you can get Thai tea for 110 baht, which is a little under $4 USD.

On top of the super cool drinks, they also have cute cakes!

Freaking delicious ones, too. I've tried cake 3 different times in Chiang Mai, and to be honest, none of them were good except for the one I had here.

Besides all that, the rest of the place is just great for a work environment. Here are some pics of that the rest of it looks like...

Store hours, if you ever want to go:

They put these on your table while you're waiting:

I went back a different day so that I could write this post in the pit:

And also say goodbye to you from it!
