Skip Bangkok, go to Chiangmai, then down to Phuket

Second this. Definitely Phuket and see if you can take a day to tour the Phi Phi islands. Bangkok is like any other major city, in my opinion.

If you can do Bangkok/Chiangmai/Phuket you won't regret it, 3 very different atmospheres

There are definitely great things to see on Bangkok so don't skip it (temples, museums, markets, river, nightlife)

2 days each is a good compromise if you stay for 6 days. You can adjust depending on what you prefer: Phuket for beaches, Bangkok for nightlife and going out in the city, Chiang mai for the sightseeing and culture.

With my personal preferences and having been there, I’d do Bangkok 3 days, Phuket 2 days and Chiang mai 1 day.

Don’t skip bangkok if u like food. It is my soulcity for food. It brings together south east asian flavors with a very evolved western sitdown experience. Some of the world’s best restaurants in my opinion have cropped up there. I would recommend gaa, saneh jaan, paste, issaya siam club, nahm.

You can easily see Bangkok in a day. It's not that great.

Hot take but I think BKK is actually really cool. So many great restaurants, coffee shops, temples ...

I agree with Deloitte 2. Skip Phuket, go to the gulf of Thailand. Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao are three very special islands.

When traveling for work can we use our personal credit card for expenses or do we have to use the corporate Amex? Also does our corporate Amex get points/perks that we can use for personal usage?

Hi fishes,

Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?
