Aranyapathet is a town in Thailand that borders Cambodia with the town of Poipet being on the Cambodian side. neither of the 2 towns are much to see but as border towns they serve 2 distinct functions.
1.) act as border crossing and visa processing facility for travelers going between the 2 countries over land 2.) the second & most DISGUSTING is that Poipet serves as a "playground" for scum-bag rich Thai to go & gamble. yes... the Cambodian side hosts a number of tacky casinos where these Thai assholes can go & play while maintaining their precious love & obedience for their dork-assed King who proclaimed long ago that gambling was bad & thus "illegal".

I wanted to take the train with a scenic view to Aranyaphratet, the border to Cambodia of Thailand, but Kuya Chok insisted that we should take a bus instead because he told us that the train with the scenic view also comes with not so scenic smelly people. I tried to argue but my friend Eka here, being all quiet and shrugging her shoulders about it, wasn't helping so I gave up and agreed with the bus. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Kuya Chok isn't a nice guy because h...

When we exited the room and officially entered Cambodia, we found our new bus that would take us to Siem Reap. The small bus was considerably less comfortable than the vans on the Thai side and the bus driver had a serious lead foot. The road to Siem Reap is called "The Dancing Road" and it will have you bouncing in your seats. I heard it was bad and I thought I would be prepared because I've traveled on terrible roads in rural Ghana during a crazy tropical rainstorm. But I think the le...

between Thailand and Cambodia is not a nice place. If hell turns out to exist, it will be this place.

We told him to get stuffed and eventually, forty minutes later, he took us and the rest of the travellers to the place he was supposed to, for the pric...
