Doesn’t enjoy pure sightseeing days — Wants beach or activity days paired with restaurants or nightlife in the evening; a day that’s only sightseeing feels incomplete. Source: Aman’s observation, 2026-05-02.
Water and outdoors are his top priority — Highest outdoors interest in the group; originally pushed for Koh Tao as a 3-night stay before settling on a day trip. Lean into water, snorkel, and outdoor options when available. Source: seed doc (Apr 19 planning session).
Full Moon Party is non-negotiable — Drove the entire Koh Phangan leg of the trip. Source: seed doc.
Tends to overscope — Original Thailand plan had 8 stops in 16 nights. If he suggests adding new stops, redirect to the locked route. Source: seed doc.
Nightlife is a core travel priority — Alongside beaches and nature, it rounds out his ideal trip. Source: seed doc.

WhatsApp 1:1 chat re: Simi joining Thailand
Ikjyot had already called Simi earlier that day (“I just got off the phone with him”)
Relayed Simi’s position: will let us know by weekend; if yes revisit itinerary, if no book hotels this Sunday (2026-05-03)
Ikjyot suggested I call Simi this week and “do some sweet talking”
I committed to calling Simi this week and reporting back
Closing tone: “We gonna have a blast either way”

Video call (Google Meet) at 8:12 PM to walk through the Thailand itinerary
Finalized the trip plan: 16 nights, Bangkok → Pattaya → Koh Samui → Koh Phangan (Full Moon Party May 31) → Bangkok
Dropped Phuket/Krabi/Phi Phi (monsoon risk) and Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai (logistics); added Pattaya as a second nightlife stop
Confirmed Air Canada booking AVK6LF for both of us
I forwarded the itinerary doc link after the call

Stayed on the call after talking with Simi
Spoke about Jessica and how to motivate her to pursue more, her biological clock

Group call with Simi from 7pm-9pm for bachelor party planning
Listened to his Thailand suggestions and incorporated his findings into a Google Doc with his own tab
Discussed not starting OSRS (account: pogfatherz) because he anticipated I’d get addicted - I agreed
Talked about what he’s working on these days: criminal law, civil disputes, his dad’s real estate clientele, and one more area

Messaged him and Simi in the morning with flight research for incoming/outgoing and left some open questions; no response since the afternoon

Group call with Simi for bachelor party planning, 8pm-10pm
Felt a bit off and left out during the call; felt excluded as Ikjyot and Simi were mostly talking between themselves
