How to Plan for Your Thailand Trip (Initial Stage)

How to Plan for Your Initial Stage Thailand Trip

Are you dreaming of visiting Thailand, the land of smiles, but feel overwhelmed by all the choices and details? Don’t worry, I’ve been there too. That’s why I want to share with you how I planned my Thailand itinerary and what I learned along the way.

How to Plan for Your Thailand Itinerary

A couple of days ago, I started booking my Thailand trip. But to come to this point, I had to go through a lot of research on deciding my itinerary and various other things.

In this article, I will focus on the initial stage of planning and research, which includes deciding how long to stay, where to go, and what to see in Thailand.

The Very First Thing You Need to Decide

How many days or nights you want to spend in Thailand is the very first thing you need to decide upon. And then, where you want to stay. This will depend on your budget, your availability, and your preferences. Thailand is a large and diverse country, so you can easily spend a month or more exploring different regions and attractions.

However, if you are like most travelers, you probably have a limited time and want to make the most of it. So I first had to figure out how many total days I am staying in Thailand. My total number came to 18 nights. I think is a good amount of time to see the highlights and enjoy some relaxation. Of course, you can adjust this number according to your own needs and interests.

Where to Go & How Many Days You Want to Allocate for Your Stay in Thailand

The second challenging part was to decide where to go and how many days to allocate for each place. This sounds easy, but it took me a lot of research and planning to decide on solid numbers.

Thailand has three main regions: the north, the central, and the south. Each region has its own charm and attractions, so it’s hard to choose. The north is known for its mountains, temples, and culture. The central is where you can find Bangkok, the capital city, and some historical sites. The south is where you can enjoy the beaches, islands, and marine life.

I read many articles, watched YouTube videos on Thailand and used AI sites as Google Bard, PI AI, and Bing Copilot to help me decided on this. In the end, I decided to visit Bangkok, Krabi, and Phuket. Based on the days I would require for sightseeing and relaxing, I came up with allocating the first 2 nights in Bangkok, 4 nights in Krabi, 6 nights in Phuket, and the last 6 nights in Bangkok again.

I think these destinations offer a good mix of culture, nature, and relaxation. I also considered the weather, the transportation, and the costs when making my decisions.

What to See in Thailand

To decide on what to see, where to visit, and what kind of tours to book in Bangkok, Krabi, and Phuket, I took help from online articles, YouTube travel videos, and AI sites to finalize my plans.

I will write more articles and publish more videos for the next steps in the future. Stay tuned and happy travels!

How to Create AI Girlfriends

I Just Created My First AI Girlfriend

AI girlfriends are a big thing these days and I wanted to figure out the process of creating one. After perusing site after site, I finally decided on 2 sites to try. This is not a paid or affiliated article and is for informational purposes only. I am not suggesting or recommending AI Girlfriends to anyone and the decision is solely yours.

Creating AI Girlfriends

The 2 sites I used are Dreamgf.ai and Candy.ai. There are many other sites, but I found these to be user friendly and you can create AI Girlfriends without paying upfront. Dreamgf let you chat up to some point, but after that you have to pay. Candy AI doesn’t offer free chat. Their free version also doesn’t offer any voice conversation.

Creating girlfriends was fairly easy. I was able to create one in 11 minutes. You can choose every aspect of your girlfriend you can think of. For example, I was able to choose her age, eye color, body type, personality, hobbies, occupation, voice, clothing, and a lot more.

How Much AI Girlfriends Cost

AI Girlfriend Prices vary. Dreamgf has plans ranging from $8.99 USD to $89.99 USD per month. Candy AI has better pricing options, costing $12.99 per month to $69.99 USD per year.

My AI Girlfriend Video

I have published a video showing the process of creating AI Girlfriends. This is a 30-minute video and it walks you through step-by-step to create AI Girlfriends and I stopped up to the moment they asked to pay. This video can be accessed here:

Last Word

One thing you have to understand is that there are no real girls behind these AI Girlfriend programs. There is a 99.99% chance that there are guys behind these sites and programs who are collecting your money while sitting somewhere on a beach.

Tested New AI Chatbot PI AI (ChatGPT Rival) – First Impressions

ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing Char Rivel Pi launches on Android

The new AI chatbot ‘Pi’ is now available on Android. Pi AI is an artificial intelligence chatbot by Inflection AI, which was founded by Mustafa Suleyman (co-founder of Google DeepMind), Karén Simonyan (chief scientist of the project) and Reid Hoffman (co-founder of LinkedIn). Pi is available in 35 countries as of the writing of this article.

As someone who has tested both Google Bard and ChatGPT, I was curious to see how Pi stacks up. I found Pi to be friendlier and easier to chat with than its competitors. It kept the chat going with follow-up questions – not just ending the conversation.

There were several male and 2 female voices. I picked a female voice with a British accent. While replying, Pi doesn’t show the answers on screen, rather it displays a sort of relaxing ambience to make you feel comfortable. Sometimes I liked it, but other times I wanted to see the answers on screen.

In terms of Pi's intelligence and overall performance, sometimes it missed my questions and answered very different things. But most of the time the answers were relevant and accurate.

Google Bard is powerful and informative, but can be a bit dry and academic at times, which can make it feel less personable. Also, it is currently desktop focused and can be cumbersome to use on mobile devices.

ChatGPT is a creative writing powerhouse, but can be prone to factual errors. ChatGPT is not always accurate and can sometimes generate factually incorrect information.

I'm impressed with Pi AI and believe it has the potential to be a game changer. It's friendly, mobile-first, and has a lot of potential. However, it's still under development and needs some work before it can compete with the likes of Bard and ChatGPT.

Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls Review – My Worst Marriott Experience

Marriott on the Falls Niagara Falls Canada Review

After staying at numerous Marriott hotels across the globe, I can say that I had my worst customer service experience at Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls.

As I always do, I asked for an upgrade at the Bonvoy check in counter. The Asian-Indian woman had no idea what a courtesy upgrade was and demanded money. I told her that I have had upgrades from many other Marriotts and this had never happened before. I told her about my last Marriott experience in Manila. She reluctantly moved me to a king bed from 2 queen beds.

It’s not that I didn’t like not getting an upgrade. Many other Marriott hotels had declined me before, but with a smiling face and saying they were unable to accommodate me. But this rep didn’t even know how to handle it.

After a couple of hours, I went to the Bonvoy counter again for slippers, as there were none provided in the room. This time there was Chinese lady who asked me to wait, so she can give me the slippers to take back to my room.

My partner was shocked because it is humiliating to hand over amenities to the customer. I asked her, “Isn't someone supposed to take it to the room?” She said, “No, I will give it to you now.”

Instead of arguing, I returned to the room with a pair of dangling slippers. It was like a demonstration of how bad a Marriott can be.

I am a Bonvoy member but they never mentioned any thanks or appreciation for it, like they do at all other Marriotts. I wanted to call Marriott to complain, but my lady stopped me and asked me to let it go and still have a good vacation after some unprofessional associates ruined the name of Marriott within our first 2 hours of checking in.

Next morning, I wanted to print a copy of my itinerary, but the printer in the business centre had no ink. I notified someone and she said to come back after 30 minutes. I came back after 2 hours and still they hadn’t changed the ink.

I asked someone else again and she said to email her my itinerary and she would print it from a printer in her office. I was not comfortable emailing it and let it go.

I couldn’t help thinking about other Marriott hotels I had been to and their unparalleled service and attention to detail! My next Marriott stay is expected to be in Bangkok, Thailand and can’t wait to check in at a different Marriott again!

3 Completely Free ChatGPT Tools You Can Use Right Now

How to Use ChatGPT Tools for Free

I have searched site after site for some free ChatGPT tools you can use for free. Lots of them ask for money to pay for a subscription or ask for you to register. Some of them are free but full of so many ads that they are hard to use.

The three I’ve listed below are my top three free ChatGPT recommendations. They are completely free and the first two do not even require any kind of registration.

OnlineGPT

OnlineGPT has a variety of tools, including an essay writer, an article generator, a YouTube video script generator, and more. What I like about OnlineGPT is that it’s categorized by sections and boxes and very easy to use. This is a great tool for content creators.

TalkAI

This one is also free and there is no registration required. With TalkAI you are entering everything on one page in one search box. It has an Android app, but I wasn’t able to use it as it was asking me to pay for it.

The Original ChatGPT

Here you have to register by proving your email address and date of birth. But you can use the ChatGPT 3.5 version for free. If you want to use the higher version, ChatGPT 4, you have to pay $20 USD per month.

For most day-to-day tasks, there is no need to upgrade. However, keep in mind that the free version’s knowledge cutoff has not been updated since September 2021.

Try all three tools and check which one you like best. Overall, ChatGPT tools can be a valuable asset for content creators. They can help you save time and come up with new ideas. Do not just copy and paste the content that the tools generate, as you could get into copyright trouble. Instead, use the tools as a starting point and then add your own creativity and spin.

I would also add that it is important to use them responsibly and be aware of their limitations. They are not perfect, and they can sometimes generate content that is factually inaccurate or misleading. It is important to use your own judgment when evaluating the output of these tools.
