I haven’t been but I’d split time between the cities (Bangkok, Changmai) and an islands. Koh Samui or Phuket are high on my list

Would you go on a tour? I travelled there as a backpacker 20 years ago, but organizing it just seems like a lot of work especially if we are on a schedule this time around

Thailand is hoootttt in April. And insanely humid. If that's not your shtick, I'd recommend considering another location or visiting at another time of year.

For a week, you could spend about three days in Bangkok, and then travel to an island destination or up into the mountains near Chiang Mai, depending on what you're into. Would recommend staying away from Phuket and Koh Samui as they'll be particularly packed with tourist at that time of year, given it's Easter.

Bangkok also has wonderful restaurants so if food is your thing you'll have plenty of options!

If I did Thailand again I would just spend all my time between Chiang Mai hiking and the islands

I just got back from Thailand. Do Northern Thailand if I were you. April can get very hot so being up in the North will help. A ton of people I met talked about Pai—a place to think about.

I went to pai but it was just kind of a pain to get to. If you drive in, it’s like 300 turns one way from Chiangmai. We went with a group and one girl puked the entire way. Just a warning if you get car sick.

I would also say 2 days in Bangkok is more than enough unless you are looking for something specific there.

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

So I was at a dinner with my MBA classmates, one an H1B, one a white American (slightly right of centre in terms of politics) and im a green card holder, the conversation got really awkward when my H1B pal starts ranting about how oppressive the H1B system and how it shows how racist the US is, the white dude held it in for a while and then said, you knew the rules before you came here, why didn’t you go to Canada or Europe. At this point both of them looked to me to intervene.
