After waking on Day 2 and finally getting some much needed rest I woke early and met my team leader for the tour I had joined.  I had joined a tour that would take me overland to Cambodia so I could go to Angkor Wat and then would return to Bangkok after.  I always love traveling over lan…

It's a holiday in Cambodia - no really it is - and everyone is off at the pagodas celebrating today, guessing we could have timed this better... 9/22/06 So we woke up early and grabbed a motorcycle tuk-tuk to the airport, at least that's what we thought. After about ten minutes we came to an inte…

Siem Reap ... home of the Cambodian ruins of Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom.  The ruins at Angkor are so expansive, over many square kilometres. Very ornate. Mixture of some restored and some as if it was discovered yesterday. There is very little in terms of taxi or public transport and our st…

I only went to Cambodia for a week, but it was to short. I'll go back for sure.

Map and photos of my loop around Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.

Spent a month working in a clinic in the capital and got to travel around in my spare time.

About half way along the entrance this young fellow started walking with me - telling me he was a student - studying to be a guide - and giving me…

What a difference between day and night! During daytime there is nothing much to do in this sleepy town. But wait until sunset. Then this town wakes up! Check out the nightmarket, the bustling bars, the massage parlours, the food (try the Khmer speciality Amok, fish in coconut sauce, yammie yammie!…

Just posting some photos from my trips

with 7 American students arriving in one a small plane.  To a small airport.  In Cambodia. For some background.  Cambodia is a mid-size Asian country bordered by Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.  Siem Reap and Angkor Wat are located in the center of the country very close to the lar…

I was borned in Cambodia, and left when I was probably 6yrs. This trip was the first time I had set my feet on the soil since then. I went there with my parents because I remember where my relatives are. The trip had definitely enriched my life in many different aspects.
