Silver Palace, temples,night life ,lakeside guesthouses and my tuc tuc driver

The final night in Bangkok was one wiped clean of any residue of sleep. The drugs I had pertained from Boots worked, a little too well… I was so bunged up from the tablets I was left a bum cripple, sans gravy and unable to spill my arsebeans at will. I was left twisting and turning in an all night long forced stakeout at the side of the bo...

Zurueck als Backpacker haben wir von Bangkok aus den Bus nach Aranya Prathet an der kambodschanischen Grenze genommen. Von dort aus sind wir mit dem Tuk-tuk zur Grenze gefahren. Unser Tuk-tuk Fahrer hat dabei natuerlich einen kleinen Abstecher zu einem kambodschanischen Konsulat gemacht, wo wir ein Visum fuer 25 $ loesen sollten. Dies haben wir ...

just a quick entry to say that we successfully crossed another border, from Thailand into Cambodia. once we convinced our tuk tuk driver to actually take us to the real border, rather than the scam "cambodian embassy" (looks like some dude's house, probably is) where they claim you must first get your visa (you must do no such thing) and got pas...

Leaving, Angkor, I was certain i would return; I had entered Cambodia and seen the poorest country by a long hot I had ever been to, squalor, rubbish and the general lack of any investment or infra stucuter meant that apart from Siem reap and Phom penn and a few other places, the country had barely changed in a 100 years. Initially, I just wante...

The Bangkok-Siem Reap bus scam is run out of travel agents on Khao San road in Bangkok. You purchase a bus ticket for 200-500 baht. Normally the ride to the border takes about 3 hours, then there's 1 hour process of getting stamped out of Thailand, getting a Cambodian visa, and getting stamped into Cambodia. After that, it's another 4 hour ride ...

We slept through most of the train journey (it was really busy and the chair I was sitting on wasn't actually connected to the base and I kept knocking it off and disturbing the poor bloke sitting next to me). Bought some hard-boiled eggs though, with some soy sauce in a little bag - ironically, I would be eating this during most journeys in Cam...

"You should come to England, mate. The women will f**king love you" - Dan, to a border cop. I think he was being sarcastic. From Aranyaphratet, Thailand, we hire a tuk-tuk to the border. The driver takes us to a dodgy visa shop. We say no, thank you, the original request of the border was fine thanks. (At this point we are utterly fatigued by sc...

De eerste grensovergang tijdens de reis: de grens thailand met cambodja. Dit was wel een erg verschil en een kleine cultuur schok.... We zijn vanaf Bangkok met de trein naar de grens met Cambodja gegaan. Die reis was erg relaxed, hoewel we waren wel heel erg vroeg opgestaan om de trein te halen. Tot aan de grens ziet alles er keurig en netjes ve...

Now some people recommended us to take a plane from Bangkok to Cambodia but we decided to cut costs and take the more adventurous overland version of the trip. Well, in short it was quite stressful, especially oin the Cambodian side but on the good side definately cheaper! Got up early and arrived at train station Bangkok at 5 to book very cheap...
