What do you mean the bridge is out??!!
This is a top pick! The journey back to Bangkok wasn't something we were looking forward to, especially after the journey to Siem Reap was so awful. When we eventually got out of bed we found a taxi rank in the centre of town full of touts trying to rip us off for the ...
Off to Banteay Chhmar, can we go by car...?
This is a top pick! ... we almost had to promise the guy we would be visiting the Angkors eventually before we could board the bus! The scenery in Cambodia is unspectacular but very pleasant, its roadsides littered with lily ponds and small farms and the air is filled with ...
scammed!
... when you have been travelling for a year this money means so much and could have been more then a few weeks accommodation in Cambodia. We were absolutely kicking ourselves. We got a bus from Bangkok through a legitimate company and had booked a top rated ...
Foerste dag i Cambodia
Saa er jeg kommet til Cambodia, og sidder nu et et lille hul i jorden ca. 55km fra graensen. Forskellen mellem Thailand og Cambodia kunne ses inden for sekunder, lige pludselig var vejen vaek og det var bare huller med lidt grus omkring...aldrig har jeg ...
A funeral in Thailand!
Whats up folks, long time no see! This entry is actually several in one. Recently I went to Tak which is in the North of Thailand near Chiang Mai but I did not write a separate entry about my trip so I will include it with this one. one of my Thai ...
Bus wanker at Cambodian border
... over 4 hours we stop just by the border for lunch and meet Carl & Jazmine. Their both from Oz and work in Cambodia. Jazmine works rehabilitating children and Carl on a project to get the Cambodian's off drugs and stop aids from spreading through sex ...
Is this legal? Homestay virgin
Not at all apprehensive about what to expect with the Homestay but full of excitement as I head down to the shared taxi. Unable to see through the tinted windows opening the taxi door was like opening a fridge to find goose inside. Full of confusion. As ...
Bye Bye Banteay Meanchey
... have 3 other bodies to cushion the blow. Back at Pyramid Hotel we take a wander round town to see some of the local schools but Sisophon is not a tourist town so we head back to the hotel and get ready for the taxi share to Siem Reap tomorrow. On review: ...
The tarmac test
... day and then feeling exhausted as a result. A vicious, masochistic circle. This pattern continued for a few more days into Cambodia before we realised something had to change and we broke our late night - late morning routine with a painful dawn ...
day 37
... some pics. This day we stopped just 3 times, our team is getting better, just a pity Liyuan is still a bit slow.. :P arrived at sisophon at 4 and cooled down with a great fruit juice. we also found a place to buy a cake for Xiaofeng ITS HIS BIRTHDAY ...
Back to Thailand via a broken bridge!!
The journey back to Bangkok wasn't something we were looking forward to, especially after the journey here was so awful. When we eventually got out of bed we found a taxi rank in the centre of town full of touts trying to rip us off for the journey back. ...
Border Crossing Fun
... of a joke really. We had to stamp out of Thailand and then walk for about 5 minutes to the next border to stamp into Cambodia. There were two queues one with locals that seemed to be an ever-moving line and one with foreigners that hardly ever moved! All ...
Crash!
... four hour journey to Sisophon to see the last temple outside of Siem Reap, of Banteay Chhmar. Finding an English speaker in Sisophon proved to be quite difficult, so after walking around for half an hour with fifteen kilograms on my back - I eventually ...
My travel luck is changing. It's really changing
The day I'd been waiting for had finally arrived. By the end of today I was gonna be supping a bottle of Chang beer on the veranda of a hut on the beach. I've really enjoyed all the travelling around from place to place, seeing new things, meeting new ...
Sisophon and an Angkor Temple
... an eventful bus journey - with the clutch going just after leaving Phnom Penh we arrive tired and exhausted in the one horse town of Sisophon (we think the horse was on holiday as well). 3 hotels in the guide book - so headed for the Crown hotel - clean ...
Travelling on to Cambodia
... 3 blokes in the back (not small ones at that). The 2hr 30 journey was on the same kind of road as the one to Sisophon - potholes! as we were going along we witness a car in the river and everyone stood around scratching their heads how to get it ...
Poipet- The town of Scams
... generate a single cent out of me, they left reluctantly, leaving me some peace an quiet. The Thailand Cambodia Border Friendship market is a sprawling centre with so many stalls selling daily items, gems, smuggled goods and basically almost ...
pajamas as day wear..a look that should catch on!
Sooo..we've arrived safely in Cambodia (after negotiating a series of buses and public transport!) We feel very proud because we managed to cross the border without any necessity for the usually obligatory bribe. Our research paid off, as our guide ...
Painful border crossing
I'd heard that the border crossing into Cambodia can be painful and it lived up to it. Things actually got annoying in Bangkok as I had paid for a shared taxi for the Cambodian leg but was told in the morning that it wasn't possible. As the agency i'd ...
helvedes bus og SCAMS GALORE
God morgen.. Dagen startede tidligt, med at blive klemt ind i en meget, meget fyldt minibus og så gik turen ellers mod grænsen til Poi Pet. Det er bestemt ikke en fordel at være 199 høj hernede, for busserne er ikke lavet til min slags. Efter ...
On Route in Cambodja, Highway 6
Ook aan alle relaxte momenten komt een eind, dus op de fiets en over highway 6 richting Sisophon. Naar ons idee toch best een veilige weg en de drukte valt ook nog mee, maar het is wel een eentonige weg en wederom zijn het de contacten die deze ...
Happy Birthday to Me
We arrived in Sisophon at about 2pm having left Bangkok at 7.30 (8.30am actually by the time we got going) and stayed at the Golden Crown Guesthouse ( tel: 054 95 84 44, fax: 054 710 578). The place was pretty big. I'd call it a hotel rather than a ...
