I did CM a few months ago. It's definitely worth a trip. You can visit Doi Suthep temple and the local Hmong and long neck villages too. They don't have much to see in all honesty but your small contribution helps them to survive. There is a big botanical gardens in CM if you're into that kind of stuff. The taxi buses I usually just hire for the day so I don't have to share. It means I don't have to hang around once I'm bored.
Krabbi is nice. The pyramids restaurant in AoNang is good for a cheap dinner that isn't Thai food. Take a boat trip. Any boat trip is good. You can arrange it with boat owners directly.
Bangkok offers little except shopping malls and hookers. Check out the grand palace and temple of the dawn. If you're there at the weekend check out chatuchak market.
Enjoy the trip
PS if you're visiting temples and palaces wear appropriate clothing. No knees and shoulders showing or you'll have to hire some clothes to wear to get in.

Any suggestions for things to do/see in Amsterdam outside of the obvious activities?

Weed and booze yes. Coke and brasses won't go down well with the pregnant wife.
Any food recommendations in San Diego?
Went to a pretty good Italian restaurant in the Gaslamp District but can’t remember the name
Italian is a good shout. I will grab some sushi but not into it tonight.
It’s taco Tuesday
That’s been changed to Taco Today
The Rijksmuseum was very good,
This is a pretty good list of options -

Dunno if you have done any scuba before but you'll be in a great place to give it a go. Get a couple of try dives in so you don't have to do all the classroom stuff.

Off to Jordan on Friday, staying with friends in As-Salt.
https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/...middle-easts-city-of-tolerance-and-generosity
While there we'll be doing a stage of the Jordan Trail, leaving us with just two to do, hopefully next year.
https://jordantrail.org/
The trail covers the whole length of Jordan, about 675km, and takes in some of the well-known places such as Petra and Wadi Rum. It's reckoned it can be completed in about 40 days but that would be pushing it a bit too much for my liking. Easier for us to do it in stages. I've met people doing it solo but I'd recommend going with a group or at least one other person.
Even by Arab standards the people are very friendly and welcoming. English is widely spoken but learn a few basic Arabic phrases and you'll have friends for life.
Also recommend buying this:

Rijkmuseum is an obvious choice - it is amazing to see first hand all the paintings you have seen on tv or on the internet. Some are a lot bigger than you think
Anne Franck house usually has a huge queue, so I never went in, but have heard some people say it is worth the wait.
Canal boat trips are good too, especially if you cba walking for a while.
Scheviningen (I have no doubt butchered the spelling) is a lovely little town on the coast if you feel like getting out the city - dozens of cafes and bars all along the beach.
Eat pancakes. Every second shop is a pancake cafe.
