Having
learned my lesson on the bus trip up from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh, I paid a little extra for my
ticket to Siem Reap and found a seat further back, out of sight of the front
windscreen and almost out of hearing of the horn and the karaoke ... Read more >

After a bout of travellers sickness for me, which added two extra rest days for us in the capital, we took the 4 hour bus ride west to Battambang, the second largest city in Cambodia.
Although, from the size of it you would never believe it, it’s ... Read more >

We arrived in Cambodia in late June, from Vietnam, and got to Phnom Penh around 8PM. A little weary from the bus trip, we immediately ventured out to the streets for a feed. What a dive. There was rubbish everywhere and we had a few young kids trawling ... Read more >

Two days ago, Christopher and I took one of Cambodia's two paved
highways-- this one leading from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. When your
bus arrives at a tourist town like Siem Reap, you are instantly
accosted by tuk tuk drivers who want to take you ... Read more >

He cackles incessantly with dark beady eyes. The thin black
tufts of hair on his chin shine in tainted spittle. His long pinkie talon jabs
menacingly deep grooves into a newly acquired map.
“I’ll take you to the temples” he promises. “Just ... Read more >

Yesterday we booked our bus tickets down to Phnom Penh, leaving the Dead Fish at 7:30am, for a 4-5 hour trip down to the capital of Cambodia. Having booked our tickets (and setting my alarm) I headed downstairs for a drink. For some reason I was craving ... Read more >

Hello! Right we're in Cambodia now and the border crossing was surprisingly smooth considering what we'd heard! We avoided the Khoa San Road buses and got ourselves a government coach up to Aranyaprathet and spent the night there, quickly realising how ... Read more >

I had a day to rest before the half marathon, but my legs were still sore from my cycling when the starting gun was fired. I recited my mantra “pain is temporary, pride is forever” and ran like the wind (on a slightly breezy day). My training was screwed ... Read more >

Dopo un lungo viaggio arrivo a Siem Reap, in Cambogia: 15 ore di aereo, una notte a Bangkok, 4 ore di pullman, 2 ore in frontiera cambogiana a discutere con la polizia mafiosa, e tre ore di taxi. E poteva andare peggio. Se fosse piovuto le ore di ... Read more >

I awoke late the next morning, so I decided I wouldn't go to angkor wat that day I would go tomorrow instead. But I would go and try to see the sunset as I heard that it was free to go see the sunset at night as you wouldn't be able to do much. I suppose ... Read more >

been here since Friday and leaving tomorrow. Spent the last 2 days gawking at the temples of Angkor and am now suffering a little of what they call "temple fatigue". As much as they are full of historical, cultural and mythical depth, you can't ... Read more >

7th June 2008 Laura, Sarah (whom we had met in Battambang), Stephen and I travelled across the Tonle Sap Lake/River from Battambang to Siem Reap. The journey was not as picturesque as I was led to believe it would be, but there were certainly ... Read more >

Day
2 was all about the Wats. All of us, minus Uma because she'd done this before, met our driver at 4.30
a.m. and made our way back to the Angkor Wat. It was pitch black
darkness. There are no streetlights in Siem Reap, not even ... Read more >

We
met at the airport at 4 a.m. all bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived. All of
us felt like we looked like shit, so no photos were taken. Changi
Airport is very quiet and mostly empty at 4 a.m; I didn't expect that.
Most shops were closed. The ... Read more >
