Day 2 - Cambodia Crossing
... wife of the gentleman who said the school up from Cambodia cooked us a 5 course meal which was pretty yummy, it did start with crickets though - which I did try and the meal ended with egg and mango desert which was surprisingly tasty. During dinner they showed us two videos so we could understand the way of life more for these family it was very emotional. On the way back we stopped off at a market and some of the guys got a 15 minute massage for 1 ...
Day 30 - Grand Palace and Wat Pho

At times, and yes I was part-asleep, it felt as thought we were in a 4-wheel drive adventure and I was not sure if the train was remaining on the tracks or not. Jerking from side to ...
It begins
... was exactly the same as last time, we headed a street over to rhambuttri which is a lot nicer! Had a fairly early night in the end as quite jet lagged and wanted to explore the next day. Spent a day looking round bangkok, got scammed of sorts by a tuk tuk driver who drove us round all day for a pre agreed fee of about 50p.
