If you enjoy hiking check out the Monk’s trail in Chiang Mai. Take an Uber to the start of the trail by the zoo, and hike up past two different Wats. One of my favorite spots in CM was a restaurant called Coconut Bowl.

Get a International Driver’s License for scooters or motorcycles before going otherwise it’s like a 1500 baht fine. They’re $20 at AAA. Go to an elephant orphanage and see some Thai kickboxing. Get massages. So cheap there and obviously relaxing after a long day of sightseeing.

The fact that you chose Bangkok and Chiang Mai is pretty touristy itself. Have a drink/dinner at Vertigo in Bangkok, tourists go to Cirroco (Hangover shooting location). Don’t ride an elephant if you are into animals. Condoms won’t protect you from herpes.

If you get out into a more rural area outside of Chiang Mai and can rent a scooter would do. Had a great time just riding around and exploring though this was near Khao Lak.

Also saw some dudes riding atvs through the jungle outside of Chiang Mai

I’m also going to those locations. When are you going OP?

Chiang Mai > Bangkok. Temple hop in CM, take a cooking class, rent a bike, relax...

Good timing. Participate in the water fight festival too.

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
