A Mining Town
This is a top pick! ... the bus is “late?” The highlight was trying to figure out how to pay for things using both KIP and USD. Banlung is predominantly a gem mining town which explains the abundance of high end SUVs driving around town. I got more of the inside ...
Alles Roger in Kambodscha Part II
... gemeinsam mit 2 Deutschen (Theresa und Maurice) aufgemacht um, geführt von 2 Guides, den Dschungel ca. 40 km nördlich von Banlung zu erkunden. Geplant waren 3 Tage (Kosten pro Tag, pro Person: 20 Dollar inkl. Essen und Trinken) mit 2 Übernachtungen im ...
Sidste stop: Kratersoe
... ude i skoven et sted, ved et hengemt meget mindre vandfald, som tydeligvis ikke havde vaeret besoegt i de seneste mange aar. Men vandfald fik vi da, lidt af i hvert fald, og saa gik solen ellers ned over Ban Lung, og vores sidste dag i Cambodia var ...
Un peu de terre rouge entre les dents?
Comme prévu me voilà parti en scoot avec une pote Russe qui au moins ne me demande pas de ralentir quand je dépasse les 60 km/h quand je roule contrairement à la dernière personne qui était monté avec moi…. Donc direction 2 petites cascade ...
Farewell Cambodia
A few final thoughts and photos as we leave...Thailand might be marketed as the land of smiles, but I think Cambodia has it beat! scoop bucket 'showers' women wearing pj's as casual clothing tiny children on gigantic bicycles shops dedicated to ...
Ratanakiri - Red dirt and a tender tail-bone
With the CWF semester over, and 2 weeks before I leave Cambodia, I decided to head to Ratanakiri in North East Cambodia for a look-see. I really wanted to get to Mondulkiri but it seems to be way too difficult in wet season and I didn't fancy ...
Brian's Travel Tips: Sickness
... your own comfy home where you have a bath, warm shower, and all the drugs you need dispensed by someone who speaks English - Cambodia offers some interesting hurdles for someone feeling ill. Not to mention the bugs they grow here are really, REALLY nasty! ...
FAIL!
... I was actually beginning to go a bit crazy in the North East with no one to talk to for a few days. All in all Cambodia has been interesting, but im going to go back to Thailand tomorrow, im really missing the sea and believe after over 3 months its ...
North by Northeast
... in red dust from head to toe. So then it was time to head for Laos. We’d had an excellent time in Cambodia. The country is very relaxed (especially after China and Vietnam). The locals are very friendly and smiling (outside of Angkor anyway), ...
Erster Kontakt
Unseren ersten Richtungen Kontakt mit Cambodia hatten wir in Banlung, einer kleinen Provinzstadt im Nord-Osten des Landes. Hier sollte es landschaftlich sehr schön sein. Das heißt Trekking für uns. Ach was, wir gehen doch bei 35 Grad Celsius nicht ...
13 Hour Bus Ride
... metal roofs rather than rusted must mean that the attempts at farming are paying off. I think we'll veg out for a few days before our next epic bus trip up into Laos. A new expression has entered our everyday vocabulary: as slow as a bus in Cambodia. ...
Trekking in the rainy season in Ratanakiri
... to our bungalow, changed into fresh dry clothes and have a cup of tea and a banana pancake. Fri 31st July Our last day in Cambodia and we are tying up lose ends, we got a lift with Sompong into Ban Lung town to get supplies and use the ...
Enter Cambodia
... sunshine, tinted green, warming the upper layers. The motorbike ride there was a bit slippery on the wet mud roads. The town of Banlung had one dirt road running through it. For how busy it is, this is ridiculous. Dust floats above the town and ...
Jungle Fever
Brian's been cycling through cold-aches and hot-sweats for the last 36 hours. Of course, the first thing that springs to mind is malaria. We have been taking anti-malarials, but there are lots that believe them to not be effective. Did some research ...
Banlung
Travel experiences don't come much more interesting than this. The Ratanakiri Province, in Northeastern Cambodia, is a beautiful rural part of the country overlooked by most travellers who just seem Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. There's a bumpy but improving ...
Change of Plans
... there's a good chance they won't have a great variety of medical facilities either. Unbelievably, Laos ranks even lower than Cambodia for healthcare...So we decided to get a 2nd opinion in a more established clinic (as opposed to a cigarette depot) ...
Ratanakiri - Cambodia 2007
A trip to one of the most remote region in Asia, Ratanakiri province in Cambodia. It took 14 hrs by bus, 10 hrs by private car, or 2 hrs by 7-seater aircraft. We finally managed to get the computer room setup while enjoy the whole ...
Ban Lung Life
... also known as Dey Krahorm (red earth) because of it's rusty coloured earth. We've seen red roads everywhere in Cambodia, but here they are richer and deeper in colour. Supposedly very fertile and good for growing. Current ...
Ratanakiri - Jungle Trekking
... the bus) we were truly mobbed by people trying to get us to come to their guesthouse. Now... our lonely planet guide for cambodia is a few years old and we have had better luck just figuring things out once we get to a destination. We had no ...
Au revoir Laos maintenant au tour du Cambodge!!!
Voilà c'est fait, au revoir le Laos ! 1mois plein de nouvelles expériences et de rencontre s’achève mais me laisse beaucoup de bon souvenir ! Je pense que par reflexe je vais dire pas mal de fois bonjours ( sabaïdii) et merci (khop tchaï ...
Touchdown, CAMBODIA!
... gewoon zo luxe in mijn eentje lag, keek naar buiten en zag de zonsopgang, prachtig. Na 30 uur, 4 bussen, getreuzel bij de Lao-Cambodia grens en veel "you Lao? you Cambodia?" geduldig moeten beantwoorden, was ik eindelijk in Phnom Penh en zag ik Xant! Ons ...
Waterfalls, Crater Lakes & Dinner In Family Home..
We arrived in Ban Lung and got straight on the back of a motorbike – the last resort apart from walking with a heavy bag – to Star Hotel, a grand, turquoise-tiled old house that's been converted into a hotel, which is full of huge dark wood ...
Welcome to the Jungle
... up under neath one of them for what I can only describe as a power shower. It was increcible to be out in rural Cambodia, much like Vietnam the children (and some adults) were absolutely ecstatic to wave and shout 'hello'. It doesn't matter where in the ...
In the Ratanakiri province
... cars, paradoxical isn't it? On the way we pass the Japanese bridge, the new Chinese road and bridge: in Cambodia roads are build by international organisations and not the Cambodian government which is not doing anything to improve the infrastructures of ...
Monkey Blood and Rat Raisins
... the Dr.'s now! Finally, back at the Dr.'s the 2nd blood test showed nothing again. Verdict? Just some kind of Cambodia bug that Brian's body is having a hard time fighting off. Given some migraine tablets to help with the headache and they ...
Elephant Ride
... couldn't join me, but he's off on his own fever induced trip right now... We did want to go into another province in Cambodia with the express mission to spend some time with elephants. Running short on time, we high tailed it here to do some trekking. ...
Missä me ollaan?
12h bussissa istuskelun jälkeen tultiin pääteasemalle, joka ei ollukkaan Laos niinku oltiin ajateltu. Missattiin siis bussien vaihto muutama tunti aikasemmin ja nyt oltiin jossaki päin Kambodzhaa eikä mitään hajua että missä. Guesthouse ...
Banlung
Extempore tyyliin järkättiin skootterit alle, guesthousen monitoimipoika oppaaksi ja lähettiin kiertelemään kylän ympäristöä. Lähistöllä kuulemma löyty useita vesiputouksia, mutta vaan kahessa oli tällä hetkellä tarpeeksi vettä. Myös ...
Guter Rutsch zur Wasserfall - Tour
Der Busfahrer lässt uns nach der Fahrt über eine Straße, die mehr einem Flussbett als unserer Definition einer Straße gleicht, in Ban Lung aussteigen. Entsprechend durchgerüttelt sind wir froh, auf den Komfort eines Mopeds umsteigen zu können. Es ...
Dusty Red Everything! (or how to poison yourself )
... ... The big draw to Banlung is this beautiful jewel of a crater lake called Boeng Yeak Lom. Probably the most pristine water in Cambodia (or that can easily be accessed). Great for swimming, with a nice trail around it. We visited on a weekend so ...
