JW Marriott Bangkok: great rate, location, pool and lounge

like

Believe there was beer and wine, but don’t specifically recall. Haven’t stayed at the St Regis but the lounge at JW is always a nice option with excellent food and other refreshments - I don’t believe the St Regis has one

Sheraton grande. One of my favorite hotels ever. Better than the st Regis Bangkok imo

Can you elaborate on these two options? Currently booking travel and would love to hear your input.

I would suggest going to Chiang Mai or Phuket/Krabi/Koh Samui instead (check the weather). Bangkok is overrated. A few temples, palaces and sights to see and way too many tourists.

In Chiang Mai, you can cover elephant sanctuary, ziplining, hiking, Waterfall climbing, cooking classes etc.

In Phuket/Krabi/Koh Samui, you have beaches and water activities.

I’m also going to Koh Samui. Any hotel recs there? Currently booked at the Van Belle

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
