We crossed the Thailand-Cambodia border where we had to barter with the corrupt border officials who were wanting 30 dollars for a 20 dollar visa!  After some time we finally struck a deal of 23 dollars. Then we had to try and sort out transport to Siem Reap, we eventually found a taxi driver…

Angkor Wat Cambodia 2007

Adding Siem Reap as a stop on my mini-vacation in Asia was one of the best decisions I ever made.  I flew in from KL on Air Asia, and thought I was going to have trouble.  Turns out I couldn't find my passport photos needed for the entry visa.  Difficult 15 mninutes searching throu…

My lovely time in Cambodia!

First time backpacking, went from Sydney to India, then to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and finally went back home after about 5 months. Amazing trip, met loads of beautiful people and places all along the way.

i've just went home yesterday, but already miss that place...

Great trip begining with Hanoi, then Halong. Going shouth to Hue, HoiAn and Saigon. Then visit de mekong Delta and going to Cambodia, to Angkor Temples.

Having been to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat back in 2002, my only reason to go there this time was to stop for a few days en route to Phnom Penh.  After a brutal 14 hours on a miriad of buses, I arrived to a Siem Reap that was more modern and developed than the one I visited 6 years ago. &nbs…

2007 four-week vacation to explore a part of the world that I've dreamed about visiting since I was a child. More importantly, it's the first trip that I had to entirely finance on my own - I feel like such an old person!

Hi everyone! Well, this is the last entry in our journal of this trip. We all knew that the time had to come sooner or later. After spending the last 10 days in Cambodia I must say that it was quite interesting and fascinating as well. After we spent a few days in the capital Phnom Penh, st…

I nervously joined dozens of other travelers at the pier in Phnom Penh early yesterday morning, and crowded on to the overloaded boat that would take us all for the 6-hour journey up the Tonle Sap river. Dozens of people hanging from the railings above, while I sat below clutching my backpack…

You would never believe that Laos is located between two visited countries such as Thailand and Vietnam, unless you go there and see it. Unlike those two countries, beautiful as well but much more tourist, Laos seems to belong to another planet. You´ll notice it by looking at the people. Children and adults will wave and smile to you not because they want to get something from you, but just because they are authentic. Laos is a jewel not found yet. Hopefully it will last forever...

A few days flitting between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.
