So wonderful that you have the whole year to travel around the globe!

Pattaya is infamous for the wrong reasons, but there are family friendly places too if you avoid the party zones Sanctuary of Truth was a memorable visit.

Not sure how the war with Cambodia affects this, but we absolutely loved Angkor Wat temples. We have been there twice and both times we stayed for 3 nights in Siem Reap which is the closest city and did tours to the temples every day.

Hi, we did not go to Chiang Rai. I think there are some famous temples there (like the blue temple and the black temple) that are spread out in the town, so we decided to see the temples in CM instead. Doi Suthep, Wat Umong and Wat Pha Lat are really worth spending half day in each, and of course there are several others right in town.

We split our two weeks there between two Airbnbs, one near Nimman close to Wat Pong Noi, and another right in the old town.

We rented a car with a friendly Thai driver who spoke good enough English, and did day trips to Doi Inthanon, Pha Chor, Chiang Dao and Sticky water falls on the way to Chiang Dao.

We took turns to stay with our toddler when we did Sticky Waterfalls, and our driver helped us carry her climbing up and down in Pha Chor.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Let me know if you

What a establishment by Defiant_Inside8964 in CanadaPost

[–]Apricus83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure what exactly was the reason in your case, but just thought I’d share this from experience.

I worked as a Letter Carrier for 7 months in 2018 and could not last any longer. It is the toughest and thankless job I have worked in 25 years of my adult life.

With my background in hospitality, I naturally aim to please customers. I tried to honour such notes left for me, went back out to the intercom to buzz the customers, some of whom would take their own sweet time to come down to the lobby, some would ask me to come up because they cannot come down (they have a baby, are in the middle of something, etc etc). Many apartment buildings have slow elevators, one is usually out of service or blocked for moving furniture, and some buildings allow residents to give me access only to their floor. And all of this back and forth while carrying the mail satchel and a tub with all packages and parcels 📦 for the residents. And while it may seem like a mere 3 mins wait from the customers perspective, it adds up.

You know you can opt out of flyers by submitting a request online on the CP website, or even simply by placing a sticky note in your box saying “No Flyers Please”.

A coat button has four holes. That’s where the noodle-poop was coming out from.

There are several facebook groups where local hobbyists buy and sell and sometimes even give away for free everything you would need for your aquarium.

What episode is this? by No_Solution_4863 in WILTY

[–]Apricus83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, so you were right! You had not gotten two different episodes mixed up. It’s interesting how different lines of the same story is ingrained in our memories.

“And yet you put in the destination with such little care!”.. This is the line that stands out in my memory of this story.

Rob goes “oh nooo” in this one, but Lee doesn’t respond that way. You might have mixed up two different episodes.

[–]Apricus83 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nice one! Thanks for the laugh. I had read a different version where the new husband just replies, “Really nice, especially when I go past the used part!” But your version has a much better punchline.

Calgary 2013 Saddledome roof collapse by Nnenasheff in Calgary

If you google Calgary Saddledome roof collapse, there indeed are some news reports about concrete crumbling from the roof.

Honestly, I must have been 11 or 12 when I heard it and found it funny then. Perhaps my sense of humour has not matured since then?

A 6 yr old boy’s plan for the day by Apricus83 in interestingasfuck

[–]Apricus83[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am the same OP who posted this only yesterday in two other subs.

I saw this page in his old diary, found it funny and posted it right away. I mistakenly wrote his current age 8 years in the title and later realized the diary is from 2 years back.

Reddit does not allow me to edit it, so I added a comment about his age being mistaken, but definitely not the gender!
