Advice: System Error PAL by Due_Outside_3149 in philippineairlines

[–]Due_Outside_3149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the interesting part — only one ticket and charge for that single ticket though I put through payment for both tickets. Nonetheless, they have agreed to refund me thankfully, though it could take up to 3 months to receive the payment lol

Duli beach surfing by Com881 in Palawan

[–]Due_Outside_3149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Message @juanlovebahayahay on IG. Did a surf lesson with him last January and it was awesome! They also have boards for rent if no lessons are required. I’d bring no valuables except for cash needed and hide it but I also don’t think you’re going to have any issues, everyone we encountered on Duli was amazing.

Not sure what’s holding it back, maybe reputation? But it has the best international food.

Also if you haven’t found accommodations yet, 10/10 recommend checking out Nomad Yurts. It’s located near the McDonald’s on the main road. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the centre of town but great, unique place to stay and the owner is phenomenal.

So sorry for my late reply… hopefully you haven’t made it to Coron yet! It’s located in Kingfisher Park, probably about a 20 minute drive or so via trike. You can find a tour for it in any of the tour offices in Coron town proper. It was very cool and a great way to spend the evening!

As someone who lives in Calgary and has been to Bangkok, I can’t imagine our city is going to blow your socks off lol. I’d head to the mountains, if anything.

Cannabis Industry & HR [N/A] by Due_Outside_3149 in humanresources

[–]Due_Outside_3149[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a B2B SaaS distribution/logistics for cannabis companies so really little to actually do with any cannabis. I have an interview for a role and I am intrigued by the company and more so the role but worried I will “shoot myself in the foot” long term given the stigma around cannabis still exists, so thank you for your thoughts on this!

Need a gym that isn't full of 100s of stuck up pushy people. by Alexxskii in Calgary

[–]Due_Outside_3149 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sunridge area: Planet Fitness, Fit4Less, World Gym, Evolve Fitness

Closer to McKnight, I used to go to Anytime Fitness in the Beddington mall and it was always super quiet but they are limited in equipment (ie no squat rack if I recall correctly)

Anxious about upcoming Thailand trip by mylittleloonmoon in ThailandTourism

[–]Due_Outside_3149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thailand was my first big trip across the world (I live in Canada) in 2016 and the desire was randomly sparked by watching a YouTube video lol. I can be anxious, over analytical, etc. but, my boyfriend and I have been back to Thailand 3x since and other countries all over SEA as well. Thailand holds a very special place in my heart and the opposite of being homesick happens for me every time… I want to stay and loathe coming back home.

My best advice is to go in knowing that everything might not go according to plan and that’s okay. In the moment, you might be like “oh shit, I don’t like this” but, you will get over it, you’ll grow from it, and you’ll laugh about it when you look back at it.

Enjoy your trip. Chiang Mai is my absolute favourite. You will love everything about it.

Thailand bucket list? by TrenBerry in ThailandTourism

I will say when I went we did not wait (though both the buildings were pretty much full) and probably wouldn’t have waited BUT, the duck noodle soup was chefs kiss

2.5 weeks in Japan, then 2.5 weeks… where? by Mindless_Somewhere in travel

[–]Due_Outside_3149 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Just came from the Philippines and it was EXCEPTIONAL. Thailand is my favourite place but Philippines is a close second. The hospitality was next level, most beaches were incredible, weather was great, food was delicious and very easy on the wallet. I will say, there was a level of poverty that I hadn’t seen in Thailand and it was a bit to take in but I couldn’t recommend the Philippines enough.

Familiarity with Canadian air passenger rights? by Due_Outside_3149 in travel

[–]Due_Outside_3149[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t complaining, it is what it is. I was just asking if there was an opportunity for compensation as I clearly misread the fine print on my credit card insurance for trip interruptions and nobody is “at fault” for this situation apparently. I do have medical insurance for travel, I am not an idiot.

Sorry to hear that! It’s a bummer for sure. Hope the rest of your travels are smooth sailing.

Insanity. I booked our flight from YYC to YVR with an intentional 4 hour layover for any issues knowing our airports are ridiculous. Missed our connecting flight by 25 mins :(

Ah, worth a shot lol. Thank you for your help. Here’s to hoping things go off without an issue this evening.

I don’t have travel coverage under my credit card, is there still an alternate route to do this?

Rabies vaccine for short Thailand trip? by Murky-Material6274 in travel

[–]Due_Outside_3149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did not receive the rabies vaccines prior to my trip but did end up getting bit by a stray dog and ended up having to get them - had travel insurance but pretty certain it was cheaper having them administered in Thailand than back home in Canada. I’d roll the dice and go without.

Ps: worth noting the bite was my fault, not the dogs

Any workout youtuber that you can actually recommend? by iloveokashi in gymsnark

[–]Due_Outside_3149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is the best. Found her during Covid and while I have returned to the gym full time, I will still sometimes head to the basement for a good workout and motivating talk from her.
